I am personally good with this plan. If nobody > objects > this proposal then yes why not :-) And here comes the option 3: ** Proposed option 3: Wed Oct 25, 2023 ** (+10 months from Xen 4.17 release) - Last posting date Fri Aug 11, 2023 Patches adding new features are expected to be posted to the mailing list by this date, although perhaps not in their final version. - Feature freeze Fri Sep 1, 2023 (+3 weeks from Last posting date) Patches adding new features should be committed by this date. Straightforward bugfixes may continue to be accepted by maintainers. - Code freeze Fri Sep 15, 2023 (+2 weeks from Feature freeze) Bugfixes only. - Hard code freeze Fri Oct 6, 2023 (+3 weeks from Code freeze) Bugfixes for serious bugs (including regressions), and low-risk fixes only. - Final commits Fri Oct 20, 2023 (+2 weeks from Hard code freeze) Branch off staging-4.18. - Release Wed Oct 25, 2023 Kind regards, Henry > > > > Cheers > > Bertrand > > > > > > > > Please don't hesitate to raise your concerns and opinions.
