@scrawfor99 main is already tracking 3.0 at this point in time and the automated workflow created the master release issue in build-repo in April 2022. We recently updated the workflow to auto-create child issues and that change triggered the creation of new master 3.0.0 release issue along with associated child component issues. You don't have to take any action on this issue until the release date is finalized. The release issues along with build manifest will be auto-created for all upcoming versions actively supported by core team. CC: @prudhvigodithi
