@abdoulline
it may help to update the title of the PR

• this one now includes a combination of 3 PRs
• not all PRs are merged in 76X at this point
  So, it will wait for Adding HBHENegativeNoise bit to HcalRecHitFlagsToBeExcluded - 76X #11751 to end up in 76X

[slava77]

+1

for #11736 0ece623

• the same changes as in Lowering SeverityLevel of HFDigiTime and HBHEFlatNoise flags for 25ns data #11481, Replacing SpikeNoise flag by NegativeNoise one  #11667, and Adding HBHENegativeNoise bit to HcalRecHitFlagsToBeExcluded - 76X #11751

This PR will stay in limbo.
Needed only if a special release is to be made in 74X for targeted pp reprocessing.
(expectations for this are fairly low)

@davidlange6
I think that this PR can be closed
Even if we do something with 2015, it will be 76X.
