The integration deadline is January 5. So we can target/expect a RC1 on January 11. > And after the holiday, we can keep on the validation process and finish in two weeks. > If release date is after Feb, it will be hard for us to cover all cases in release window. Yes, we must remind that mid-January is a hard deadline for RC1. Then the release will be in mid-February to make sure you have some time after the holidays. What about Valentine's day? :)
