AAARGH.

Houston, we have a problem. I know that you've announced the 27th for
the point release, but we're not going to have a new shim ready for
then.

We've been hard at work testing and fixing things for the last couple
of weeks, but it's been slow going. We've *just* had a 15.3-rc3
release candidate published last night. Even if that all looks OK and
we don't find any more bugs in testing (fingers crossed!), we're not
going to have a proper 15.3 release ready to go for
review/testing/signing in time for it to make it into a buster point
release next weekend.

Sorry. :-(

Thanks for the update. :-(

Do you have a sense of when things _might_ be ready? Depending on
timings it might be worth us getting the bulk of 10.9 out of the way
and working out what to do about shim later on.

At this point, I do not have a lot of confidence to pick a reliable
substitute date. Once we have a 15.3 release *done*, I'm thinking
adding a couple of weeks after that point is probably the most
sensible thing we can do. That's enough notice for the teams, I hope?
And it will be enough time to get stuff reviewed and signed. I'll be
one of the people driving the review process, and the reviews for this
round should be minimal - we'll be using a totally vanilla new release
with no local patches.

I'll keep you updated as soon as i have any news.

In fact, how about: we *could* go ahead with the 10.9 point release as
already planned, and expect to do a 10.10 a couple of weeks later with basically *just* the shim/SB changes? I'm OK to go with that option if
that's our preferred route as a group.

(Obviously, either of these options will be eating into time for
fixing things for a Bullseye release.)

Is there actually a rush to get 10.10 out? Are people eager to push out revocations? Or can we do it on our normal cadence, some time in May or thereabouts, without adverse consequences?

There's a distinct push to try and get things out ASAP so we can fix
the revocation cycles killing EFI storage space. That's worrying a lot
of people. I don't have a good idea of the ETA for issuing that last
round of revocations, as that's a sore subject.
