Notes
- Rubin Kazan played their home match at Central Stadium, Kazan, instead of their regular stadium Kazan Arena, Kazan, as Rubin Kazan's stadium was hosting the 2015 World Aquatics Championships.
- Shkëndija played their home match at Philip II Arena, Skopje, instead of their regular stadium Gradski stadion, Tetovo.
- Renova played their home match at Philip II Arena, Skopje, instead of their regular stadium Gradski stadion, Tetovo.
- Dacia Chișinău played their home match at CSR Orhei, Orhei, instead of their regular stadium Stadionul Moldova, Speia.
gollark: I could change it but then I'd either need fallback code or would break the various disks in the wild.
gollark: As of now, PotatOS uses the original ECC thing for disk signing and the one compatible with the Python one you wrote for update manifest signing.
gollark: That is insufficiently hardware.
gollark: Excellent idea. Although Site Null may be a bit too small for 192-bit elliptic curve operations.
gollark: I didn't see this "queue system" as I wasn't reading your code in detail.
