Thanks @anthonywong , this looks good.
i had a question though.

does this respin have to happen before it gets released to a specific pocket / before it reaches a certain stage?
or a respin is doable anytime before it gets in -updates / -security?

A respin can be done against the package in -proposed or in -updates, as long as the kernel is prepared in the same cycle. If a regression is found in a proposed kernel, we will respin proposed. If there is an urgent fix needed, we may choose to release to updates first and then respin with the urgent fix.

Sorry I missed your response here @anthonywong .

I think that's fine then; since it applies to either pocket.
