<font face="monospace">Hi Ben,</font><br>
<p><font face="monospace"><span class="mceItemHidden">
Thanks for your comments. Aside from cutting back on
unnecessary maintenance work, another reason for doing this is
to <span class="hiddenSuggestion">reduce</span>
confusion about which repository is what. Neither Thunderbird
nor <span class="hiddenSpellError">Seamonkey</span> actively
use comm-release. Let's stop updating it, label it as
deprecated in the web UI, and mark it read only.</span><br>
<br>
Noth<span class="mceItemHidden">ing changes which repository <span
class="hiddenGrammarError">is used</span> for (current)
releases. Release builds
will continue be from <span class="hiddenSpellError">comm-esr78</span>/<span
class="hiddenSpellError">mozilla-esr78</span> and betas from
comm-beta/<span class="hiddenSpellError">mozilla-beta</span>.
</span></font><font face="monospace"><font face="monospace"><span
class="mceItemHidden">It looks like the next <span
class="hiddenSpellError">esr</span> <span
class="hiddenGrammarError">is going to be</span> <span
class="hiddenSpellError">esr91</span>[1].</span></font><br>
<br>
I don't want to get ahead of myself too much, but the one-repo
project is something being worked on for this development year,
so things are going to change. I don't have any specifics yet
since it's just getting started.</font></p>

Starting with next week's merges, I do not plan on updating the
<b>comm-release</b> repository and intend to have it set to a
read-only state.<br>
<br>
Thunderbird has not used comm-release in several years (except
in creation of new ESR repositories). I reviewed the push log
going back to pre-Thunderbird 60. There was one push that was
not part of merge day activities. The Seamonkey team has
indicated that this change is okay with them.<br>
<br>
With regard to the next ESR repository, it can be created from
comm-beta. There is no reason for the extra step.<br>
<br>
Additionally, there is the never-used <span class="list"><b>comm-moz-esr68</b></span>
repository that I will ask to be removed.<br>
