Productization

Sam:

• Chectl contributing: Error: command workspace:start not found #21363
• DS 3.2 RC and GA coordination (starting this sprint, continues into the next one)
  • update spreadsheet with latest RC image lists
  • update Errata w/ NVRs
  • ensure NVRs in the errata are pushed to stage
  • ensure containers in the errata are (mostly) A grade
