Why wouldn't they do the merge now instead of 48h before release, so they have more time to see if there's any problems with it?

- 0xmohit 10y ago> Why wouldn't they do the merge now instead of 48h before release The idea is not to publicly disclose the vulnerabilities with too much time remaining for a release. I guess that two weeks are mostly required so as to minimize the time taken by different distros to release updates.
- gpvos 10y agoI was thinking about a non-public merge, but with running the tests the article mentions. I don't know anything about their build setup though.
