Drupal 8 rc phase evaluation template

Last updated on
11 March 2021

This documentation needs work. See "Help improve this page" in the sidebar.

This is a draft and not official. If fact, committers may have decided not to ask for formal rc evaluations.

The following is a template for evaluating an issue for Allowed changes during the Drupal 8 Release Candidate (rc) phase and is for use with automated scripts (Dreditor) or for quick copy and pasting.

Uncomment the relevant table rows for the particular issue and edit the sample text with details.

<h4 id="rc-evaluation">RC phase evaluation</h4>
<!--Uncomment the relevant rows for the issue. -->
