May 2025 summary for Software-Improvement-Group/sigridci: Implemented a targeted optimization to the system upload process by excluding Maven directories (.m2/ and m2/) to avoid shipping Maven dependencies and reduce payload size. This change includes adding the m2 variant alongside .m2 and updating the system_upload_packer.py logic to enforce the new exclusions. As a result, deployments are leaner, with improved network efficiency and faster rollout cycles.
