Good! Sounds like there’s plenty of time built in to the system for impact analysis, change management, QA, and the like, to avoid pushing unnecessary updates that end up pissing everyone off.
Who gets to determine if they're unnecessary updates?
EDIT/Update: 'Lake America' is currently under discussion from our Geopolitical Policy Board.
