Very often we can +2 multiple patches in one go if they don't affect each other, or sync out changes together if they happen to the same file. I've deployed 8 patches in a window often, with people asking if they can add more yet. Due to timezone limitations, most people can only attend one of the SWAT windows and if they can't get it out in that window, they have to wait a whole day or more to get it out. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Apr 26, 2018, 15:15 Greg Grossmeier <<a href="mailto:greg@wikimedia.org" target="_blank">greg@wikimedia.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hello,<br>
<br>
I have made two changes to SWAT policies today.<br>
<br>
First, we now disallow multi-sync patch deployments. See T187761[0].<br>
This means that the sync order of files is determined by git commit<br>
parent relationships (or Gerrit's "depends-on"). This is to prevent SWAT<br>
deployers from accidentally syncing two patches in the wrong order.<br>
<br>
Second, we are reducing the number of allowed patches from 8 to 4. This<br>
is to reduce stress on the SWAT deployer as well as set expectations for<br>
requesters on the pace of the windows. See the approximate best case<br>
time spent breakdown[1] for how we came to this number.<br>
<br>
I've updated the on-wiki documentation on wikitech[2][3].<br>
<br>

Thank you for flying scap,<br>
