How does everyone feel about the time change

[sean-m-sullivan]

One thing we are interested in feedback on, Is we plan this release to be the last one in the redhat_cop namespace, have warnings on the last releases under that namespace to move to infra, and going forward to only release under infra.

[djdanielsson]

And if there is anything missing that needs to be added/fixed before doing another release across all collections

[Klaas-]

Question for discussion: do you want the collections to be installable from git? Adding a simple templated galaxy.yml could be enough: https://github.com/Klaas-/controller_configuration/blob/klaas-ansible-galaxy-git/galaxy.yml

Maybe we even automatically update this file after a release with the +1 version -- or append a .1 or -dev to the current version to signal this is from git
I've checked some other collections, they either don't do that or use some kind of newer/dev indicator.
