    • Context: lots of changelog conflicts
    • Another approach: order changelog by PR number

    • reinterpretation of existing processes in the context of trunk based development
    • Gary: propose still releasing on main but cut the release days before we officially announce it
    • It is possible to do semi-manually right now, but could incrementally automate
    • transparency of dev node burn-in results
    • Some CI work required for docker publishing
