While working on the archweb side of things I noticed that we now have extra, extra-testing, extra-staging. Is this change intentional? This would require some manual intervention as the default is to use testing/staging. On the PoC there is some curious difference between testing and extra-testing Many tools/integrations probably depend on testing, so this surely will break.

Hi there,

Yes, we were required to change things in dbscripts and devtools anyway. Considering that all secondary tooling needs adjustments to reflect the [core-testing] layout, we have decided to just go simple and remove special casing any stability layers. It was best to break secondary tooling once (which was the case either way), instead of multiple times. So now we ended with a simple and easy to code stability layer layout without special cases:
