[External] : Re: [21u Communication] 21.0.2 will be closed for fixes on the 27th of November

[Robert Mckenna]

You were right to be surprised. I realised after the mail was sent that the changes were pulled in too early by an over-enthusiastic integrator. This should not happen again. Any fix pushed on the Monday prior to the build will be included in the build.

This is before the Monday business day both in US and Europe, which means realistically the cutoff was at Friday night, Nov 24. I suggest going forward we follow the example of 17u and 11u that do cut-offs during the business week, and have the timezone stated explicitly:
