<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Like that other decision - that was a bit hard to find (you helped me find it in QEP 239) - I don't know exactly where the quarantine rule originated. I am pretty sure there was discussion.</p>
<p>Nyall: can you please share some background when and why it was introduced and if this decision can be found in some QEP or PSC decision?</p>
<p>Note that I am not questioning the quarantine rule - I think it makes sense - but I want to discuss the combination of the quarantine rule with the thinned out release cycle - and how we can improve things in this respect.</p>
<p>Thank you all for the discussion,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

<br />Where is that quarantine rule?
