Is this just about releasing RC Tags or changing the release-model
that tripleo used to follow:- cycle-with-intermediary(cycle-trailing
earlier) vs cycle-with-rc. Maybe you can share more context with the

this is just about bumping the git tags on the projects and not about changing the release model.

discussion points as to what's different this time and reasoning for
the same to have a clear picture.

nothing different wrt the release model - see the diff it is just bumping the hash and version https://review.opendev.org/gitweb?p=openstack%2Freleases.git;a=commitdiff;h=43cca15e8525992f6c3bfba68d3421c64c960bf9 . We are just making a release to coincide with the wider openstack Victoria RC1 even though we aren't expected to follow the rc model with our 'cycle with intermediary' on these projects.

And if possible can you also share what's the plan for GA release for
TripleO like how it will be this time.

So weshay is still PTL, and we haven't discussed this in any great detail, except that we may have to delay a little bit cutting branch and releasing victoria final.

Generally with rc tags stable branch is also cut but i don't see that
in https://review.opendev.org/#/c/754346/. And i hope this will not be

right I guess the confusion is that this isn't a proper RC since we don't have those 'officially' .It is just a version bump that coincides with the victoria rc1 milestone end of last week.

hope it helps, also, did you forget to reply-all? should i send to the list (just confirmed with ykarel and re-adding list to addresses)

thanks,

marios

merged until victoria tripleo jobs are ready if cutting
stable/victoria branch.
