Set maximum urgency on LTS 9.6 i686 package crisis
Situation
Nathan escalated that i686 multilib packages were never built for LTS 9.6 — the S3 bucket and Peridot config were never created. Every LTS 9.6 package with i686 variants is missing them. Brady flagged Siemens as a customer that specifically cares about i686. Peter acknowledged the escalation and set maximum urgency expectation.
Reasoning
This is a customer-facing gap — LTS 9.6 customers using i686 packages are not getting complete CVE updates, which creates compliance risk. Peter's response was measured: didn't panic, didn't micromanage, didn't assign blame. Asked one confirming question and set the urgency bar. Jeff is driving the resolution, Nathan is keeping Peter informed. Peter's role is setting the organizational urgency level, not directing the technical fix. Trust the team to execute, but make clear this is a drop-everything priority.
Additional Context
Jeff discovered the issue Friday evening while working through munge CVE releases. A similar issue was flagged months ago but never actioned. The fix requires version-bumping and rebuilding all affected LTS 9.6 packages, re-promoting them, and reissuing CSAF files. Filed as LE-4848.
Observed Evidence
Nathan posted detailed escalation to #eng-management tagging Peter directly. Jeff shared additional details. Peter responded with urgency expectation. Nathan confirmed 'Yes'.
