Proposal to elect new release rc--2024-10-03_01-30

Thanks Manu. It sounds like an acceptance testing environment would be really useful (aside from the dev environment used for limited testing).

I remember earlier in the year when discussing an incident there was talk of potentially introducing canary nodes that would sort of act as acceptance environments. Did those plans/discussions go anywhere?

@sat

What’s being discussed now as potential strategic activities is automatical subnet rollback in case an upgrade fails, and maybe read only (canary) nodes that could be upgraded to the new version before the rest of the subnet. Both approaches have pros and cons and both have development cost, so we’ll have to carefully evaluate them, considering other high priority development that engineers are working on.
