Description Anne Jacko CLA 2008-11-03 18:31:36 EST
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #252792 +++

Projects must have a written ramp down policy by M6+0, linked in the table above pending inclusion of ramp down element in the XML project plan. (One of the issues identified with this guideline is that its not so much the ramp down policy of how many votes are needed for each bug fix that we need to be consistent on, but rather the meaning of each of the milestones and release candidates. See Platform 3.4 Endgame plan as a guideline. See also Galileo Final Daze.)

We will have a ramp-down policy in place by M6.  It will be similar to the ramp down policy used for the Eclipse Project last release (http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/freeze_plan_3.4.php).
Comment 2 Thomas Watson CLA 2009-04-03 14:58:50 EDT
Done.
