2. Spins (Oxf13, 17:03:54)
   1. rdieter also present (Oxf13, 17:05:42)
   2. Spin owners must check in with testing before the go / no go date or risk having spin dropped (Oxf13, 17:37:44)
   3. A slip of the release will reset the spin go / no go date as well and give MIA spin owners an extension (Oxf13, 17:38:05)
   4. In case of a slip, if the updated packages are not on a spin, a re-test will not be needed (Oxf13, 17:38:25)
   5. All releng requires is that testing be done. The amount of testing is to be determined by QA and the spin owners (Oxf13, 17:38:49)
