 > In the interest of getting RC2 out, I have uploaded the latest PNG from
 above for that [https://make.wordpress.org/core/files/2019/05
 /about_maintain-wordpress.png image to the Make Core blog] to include
 instead (this is the current approach implemented for RC1). We can update
 the image after RC2 when someone with the needed access to push to the CDN
 is available.

 For the future, can we not use the CDN URLs of the images until the actual
 release?

 See, s.w.org is essentially a mirror of the main wordpress.org site. It's
 a reverse caching proxy, basically. So, once we reference a file on there,
 thus making it show up on the CDN, then we can't actually "fix" it. All we
 can do is to use a different filename, like adding ?1 to the URL or
 something like that.

 So for RCs and betas and other things, it's fine for us to use the
 wordpress.org URLs instead of the s.w.org URLs, especially when the files
 are not finalized and subject to change like has been in this ticket.

 I can update the files, anybody with admin over here can do it, but I
 can't clear the CDN once it's been used. All you can do is to add ?1, ?2
 and so on to their URLs.

 If we're sure these files are final, let me know, and I'm happy to push
 them onto wordpress.org and tell you what URLs to use.
