Hi developers,

We're getting closer, but we're not yet at a point where we can 
recommend that you try generating release tarballs with BuildStream and 
expect it to work. So I have to reluctantly recommend that you use 
JHBuild to generate your 3.27.90 release tarballs,

FWIW, I don't see any reason why individual maintainers are being asked
to use this particular tool to create tarballs.

It was clear from the earlier mails that the release-team would be
using BuildStream, it really wasn't explicit that the developers and
maintainers of individual modules were also being asked that.

 if your module has 
dependencies that can't be satisfied by your host system. Even though 
the release team is no longer maintaining JHBuild, you can make 
whatever changes to the modulesets you need, and I believe that it is 
still the easiest way to generate your release tarballs at this time.

gnome-control-center requires a newer version of gnome-desktop, which
has usually been released by the release-team on the day of the tarball
deadline.

gnome-settings-daemon requires a new version of gnome-session which
hasn't been released yet.
