Thinking about the upgrade process for Snapchain and looking for feedback. There are going to be two kinds of changes: a) Soft forks (bug fixes, minor improvements and non-consensus breaking changes) b). Hard forks (breaking changes, typically FIP implementations or other major changes that affects consensus)

a) will be released as a patch release (0.1.1 -> 0.1.2) and node operators can upgrade at their own pace. No impact if you choose not to upgrade b) will be released as a minor version upgrade (0.1.1 -> 0.2.0) and operators must upgrade before a certain time, otherwise their node will halt.

If you are a node operator, would be interested in your feedback on 1. How much heads up do you need for minor version upgrades? 1 week? 2 weeks? 2. How would you like to be notified? Snapchain channel? Github issue/post? Something else? 3. Any other feedback (keep fixed schedule like hubs or do it ad-hoc?)

1. Probably a day or so. 2. Group chat has worked well and kept chatter on the TL low. 3. We should rapidly release before we move to a fixed schedule. But things seem moderately stable rn.
