Tx for your comments. We decided to cut the branch mid last month with an intention of locking down feature set and have realistic progress towards getting out an RC.
We had elaborate discussions on the feature set for 2.8.0 last couple of months. As much as is possible, I’ll avoid resetting all of that simply because few committers overlooked pushing fixes into 2.8. And yes, the plan is indeed to cut an RC around this week, please see the 2.8 thread from before. We all simply got busy with few very critical blockers on 2.6 / 2.7. I just pushed out a 2.7.2 RC yesterday, 2.6.3 voting is in progress, so on to 2.8.0 again.
