In the event that a government agency in your jurisdiction or an influential organisation attempts to coordinate an irregular upgrade not approved by governance, how will you respond?

Similarly, a scenario where OP Labs tries to push through an emergency upgrade, what are the due diligence resources/measures you have available?
