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
