Option 1:Option 2:
DescriptionRoll out a new version of SIMP 6.3 (6.3.1 or 6.3.0-1)Roll out 6.4.0-Alpha1
Pros and cons

(plus)

Gets 7.6 support out sooner

Nothing on the SIMP side has changed, so it would make sense to push this out here

minimal changes to get a working ISO build

(minus)

Would require a full test cycle to verify since this would be considered a Final SIMP release

Could potentially roll from one test cycle (this release) into the next (6.4 pre-release)

Could discourage updates with releases close to one another (either not grabbing this to wait for 6.4, or grabbing this and not 6.4)

(plus)

Wouldn't require a full test cycle right now

Would allow for all pre-release cycles to catch potential bugs

Greater time between releases

(minus)

The first 6.4 Alpha would contain no updates to SIMP, i.e, 6.3 and 6.4 Alpha are the same in a "SIMP" sense

Could cause issues with anyone who grabs 6.4 Alpha upgrading to 6.4 Final
