I couldn't figure out the best area label to add to this PR. If you have write-permissions please help me learn by adding exactly one area label.

@ViktorHofer, @mmitche, for dependency flow PRs into release/6.0 and release/6.0-rc1, are we merging those when CI is green?

[ViktorHofer]

Yes, these should be fine to merge. Unsure why the target branch is release/6.0 instead of release/6.0-rc1 though. Commits going into release/6.0-rc1 will be automatically mirrored by the maestro bot into release/6.0. I will send out an email for that later today.

They will? Then why are we being encouraged to dual check-in other backports?

Then why are we being encouraged to dual check-in other backports?

Because the people that recommended to dual check-in didn't know that a bot was planned to be used for this. Discussed this with @danmoseley and @mmitche offline the previous weeks. As Dan is out this week, this information didn't get to his direct reports.

As said, I will send out a mail for that later today after I get the green light from @mmitche.

Closing as there will be a new dependency update opened targeting release/6.0-rc1.

[mmitche]

You can't use the inter-merge bot for dependency merges, as there are two different sets of flow, one for rc1 and one for rc2 (release/6.0). Those source from different branches on mono/linker (release/6.0-rc1 vs. release/6.0).

[ViktorHofer]

Merging as this was 100% green when closing.
