I agree with the concern but I think (I didn't attend the F2F) some of this may be driven by the fact that we don't necessarily have a concrete definition of what a release may look like in the future.<br>
<br>
If the releases (due to project structure reform) end up having a cadence with a usual group of components then I could see aligning with releases but I think some of that is TBD at this point, therefore this seems like a safe bet.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

> I am concerned about achieving the Brand goal, using a month/year approach rather than a release approach. Is the expectation that a vendor will pull the upstream for the month/year Defcore test and ship a product? If a vendor release cycle is offset by 2 months, what would use to validate their Brand compliance? My thought is by that time new things will be included in a variety of projects that will be included in the Vendor release but not comprehended in the 2 month old Defcore definition.<br>
