Hello. I would like to suggest lengthening the review period for stable releases from 48 hours to 7 days. The rationale is that 48 hours is not enough for people to test those stable releases and make sure there are no regressions for particular workflows. This is especially important for companies deploying those kernels in production machines. Often those releases are on weekends as well further limiting the ability to test. It is of course possible to skip stable updates that have large numbers of patches and only update once a month but I feel a longer testing period will work best for everyone. It is, of course, always possible to exempt urgent security releases from the waiting period.
Thank you. Hussam.
