[cross-project-issues-dev] endgame for the Europa Winter Maintenance

The current build is failing, probably due to new BIRT and TPTP features
being updated while the build is running.  At least that's what happened
with Mylyn last week when we got the "No Matching Features" with Mylyn.  On
Mylyn we haven't updated our features to yesterday's final build in trying
to avoid the break, but since are broken already are updating our features
right now.

Could we make an end-game plan something along these lines to minimize build
breakage? This just boils down to batching our re-spin requests so that
those like Mylyn that need to do cross-project testing of packagings can
know when to do so.  Proposed times are in build server time (EST).  

Today, 2pm EST: first freeze (manually triggered build)
* Everyone has submitted their bits and won't do so again until the build
goes green.
* Markus: after the build has run, and hopefully gone green, I assume that
some number of hours later we can expect the EPP packaging of it at the
usual URL?  How long does it usually take?

Today, 8pm EST: second freeze (usual time the build runs)
* Same as above, but given build times testing of the result waits until
tomorrow. 

Tomorrow: something like the above two freezes for anyone who needs last
minute changes.
