For future reference and release managers - the release manager playbook should be treated like an IKEA manual. That means: Do not try to be smart, optimize / skip / reorder steps, otherwise chaos will ensue. Just follow it and the end result will be… well, a usable piece of furniture, or a Bazel release (depending on the manual).
Like aviation and workplace safety regulations, the playbook is written in the tears and blood of broken Bazelisks, pipelines, releases and Git branches. Assume that every step is exactly there for a reason, even if it might not be obvious. If you follow them to the letter, they are not error prone. Errors have only happened in the past, when a new release manager thought it’s ok to follow them by spirit instead. 😉
Tony, did you prolong ongoing migration windows?
