That is exactly what I call "expecting a post-release fixes".

A much more important thing is to make sure we catch them before the
release and devise ways to help us do so, perhaps opting more userbase
into testing early.

Also a much more productive thing to discuss than just the timeline:
What do we want the end product of this cycle to include?

I am personally hoping to see an enhanced rerere that can record and
replay delete-modify conflict that gets resolved to removal.  Others
may have their own agenda, and it may be interesting to hear them.
Those without specific agenda for this cycle may volunteer to help
others' topics.

Thanks.
