Dear Wikitech-l
REL1_24 was branched and announced ahead of schedule[0].
Our schedule[1] clearly states that we will announce a branch one week before we make one in order to allow developers to put any necessary work into the branch and keep backports to a minimum.
Given that your schedule was only posted earlier today (< https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=WikiReleaseTeam%2FRelease_timeli...
),
I'm not sure how you expected anyone else to know about it. Normally we switch over to the next alpha branch after the wmf22 branch is created.
Indeed. If we follow the newly-proposed timeline on that page, 1.24 would have wmf23, wmf24 and wmf25 branches before being again branched?
It would help a great deal if you're choosing to alter the process that you change expectations by communicating them a little earlier; as it is I'll have to go and apologise to everyone who I informed that 1.24wmf22 would be the last cut, and instead explain that the plans were changed.
