@ibuziuk when do we plan to start 7.7.1 release? machine-exec and devfile registry are quick "run a script and make sure it worked" steps followed by assuming the ci runs as expected.

Do we do releases on Fridays, or do we observe the same blackout period that products enjoy?

[nickboldt]

Che machine-exec and devfile-registry are updated in quay (I can pull the images).

But the web UI is broken for me at the moment. Problem with quay.io hosting?

[ibuziuk]

Che server artifacts for 7.7.1 are borked for some reason and @vparfonov proceed with 7.7.1b for che-server component. At this point, I think we can skip operator / chectl releases for 7.7.1 since the change was mainly required for Hosted Che cc: @davidfestal @l0rd
