[Pulp-dev] When to apply plugin_template changes

[Matthias Dellweg]

My understanding is, that it should never be a problem to update. Always
checking before doing a release sounds like a very good idea, as it assures
that the release process is in line with the (hopefully updated) release
guide. Should we add it as a line item in the release process guide?
