I already planned to discuss wheezy's value after the release (this week). But there are two points: 1. There is an issue with ext4 image creation after switching to wic, dmesg in QEMU sometimes shows the following error: 8<-- EXT4-fs (mmcblk0): bad geometry: block count 247892 exceeds size of device (247808 blocks) 8<-- This problem is reproduced on wheezy image only. So I want to debug it first before completely dropping wheezy, to prevent possible error leaking. 2. I want to have green CI to perform release. So I propose drop wheezy from CI as the first step to unblock the process. Alex
