Investigate potential impact of changing the release date
Proposed day/date changes: gitlab-com&2184
There's been an ongoing discussion on changing the release date from the 22nd to the 3rd Thursday of the month. Here are some relevant issues/MRs:
- gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com!124742 (closed)
- gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com#34142 (closed)
- gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com!124310 (merged)
When that happens, we need to be prepared as we rely on the fixed dates for our versions. More specifically https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-docs/-/blob/main/content/release_dates.json.
Some questions that need an answer:
- Does this impact our versioning process?
- Do we need to change the logic of the relevant Rake tasks or scripts that we use?
