Given that Gerrit 3.5 will be released in October 2021, that would mean the delayfor months. For the record, we cannot verify 2.16 PolyGerrit changes on recentGoogle Chrome release because it depends on outdated web component testerWCT: [2].
I see a couple of options:1. Remove PolyGerrit verification on Gerrit CI stable-2.16 ASAP. (Also note, thatPolyGerrit UI is experimental in 2.16.x release and discouraged forproduction use. The PolyGerrit code base wasn't touched for years on this branch.)
2. Consider to release Gerrit 3.5 earlier and have 3 major releases this year
3. Split CI docker images for outdated and current Google Chrome versions. Thatwould mean even more work on the CI pipeline side, obviously.
4. Wait for half an year for current Google Chrome version support on Gerrit CI

What does this mean for request to update Google Chrome versionfor PolyGerrit verification on Gerrit CI, done in this CL: [1]?We should support both until v3.5 is released. After that, we can do a *huge* cleanup :-)Given that Gerrit 3.5 will be released in October 2021, that would mean the delayfor months. For the record, we cannot verify 2.16 PolyGerrit changes on recentGoogle Chrome release because it depends on outdated web component testerWCT: [2].Sure, that’s yet another reason for dropping v2.16: if we cannot guarantee that works, it is way better to be honest with the community and say that isn’t supported.However, we cannot drop support overnight and leave time for people to get on a *safer* release, such as v3.2 or later.I see a couple of options:1. Remove PolyGerrit verification on Gerrit CI stable-2.16 ASAP. (Also note, thatPolyGerrit UI is experimental in 2.16.x release and discouraged forproduction use. The PolyGerrit code base wasn't touched for years on this branch.)Verification works at the moment, but I see your point that it may break at any time and we are helpless on that.
2. Consider to release Gerrit 3.5 earlier and have 3 major releases this yearI believe we need to leave more time for v3.4 to settle before going into yet another release cycle.3. Split CI docker images for outdated and current Google Chrome versions. Thatwould mean even more work on the CI pipeline side, obviously.That is the best option for me.If we are strict about only doing bugfixes on stable releases, it should be possible to cut a CI image for each stable release, and leave the CI image alone.I actually proposed to move to “tagged” images with [1] but it was rejected during the review.Should we reconsider?

We don’t recommend anyone run 2.16 for anything other than migration purposes.

Seems like a reasonable path to pursue.

I believe we also want to share that users/admins are welcome to request support on the repo-discuss list as usual
, but that support there is, as always, limited to whatever individuals in the community choose to provide.
Do you see still some ambiguity on the meeting minutes?Can you upload a change for making more explicit?P.S. That is a meeting minute and we report what has been discussed and decided: I can make it more explicit but I cannot change the past :-)
