Are we in releasing block mode? I'm not aware if we do right now.
I'm not aware of any as of today (my emails seem to mentioned last one 
was the 15/01/14 for the record). Since then, we hold some components 
for hte Qt 5.2 transition 4 weeks ago (that was a week for components 
that were part of the 5.2 transitions as they had the lock).

So you should be talking about a self-imposed team practice, right?

This was called… daily-release and then the landing spreadsheet with 
manual mode that we had until december. What's your suggestion to not 
fall back to the same traps and issues (trunks not being releasable for 
days… features needing a change in A or B, but one of them can't be 
released, or pulling another C as a consequence… some upstreams throwing 
code over the wall and not caring about their releasable states)?
