- When release82 branch is created all *-main repositories are opened for fixes
- Build from release82 branch is created on daily basis till RC1, then on demand
- all P1s have to be fixed
- P2s reported after cut-off are evaluated for stopper status, all stoppers are marked with P1 and fixed into release81, if such P2 is not marked as stopper it's waived for this release
