Hi Miro,

Yes.

>> Or does it mean this should not be released in final (and hence neither rc)

versions?

Release blockers block also beta releases (if the RM decides so).

>> Would it make sense to release 3.11.0b4 with some not-yet-fixed

blockers?

No, the reason is that fixes can introduce more regressions and those need to be fixed. If these fixes

are pretty big we would be risking big changes in the RC phase, which we want to avoid. The idea is that

the fixes to critical problems reported on beta x can be tested on beta x+1.

At the end of the day, this is all subjected to the judgement of the release manager, and given how many

release blockers we have been getting and how many of these have been reported past week *after* several

attempts to release the next beta, I have decided to wait.

Additionally, I am considering pushing the full release some months in the future to allow for more betas, given

how unstable 3.11 is currently.

I was thinking. Are all release blockers automatically blocking the next beta?
Or does it mean this should not be released in final (and hence neither rc)
versions? Would it make sense to release 3.11.0b4 with some not-yet-fixed
blockers? Assuming those are not regressions that happened after 3.11.0b3 was
released.
