I'm not sure I'm comfortable with "Contingency deadline: Final freeze" for this. Is the plan to keep making and testing the old (current) version until that point? Final freeze is 2018-04-17, with target release date just two weeks later on 2018-05-01 — which means go/no-go on 2018-04-26, which means we need a perfect release candidate on 2018-04-25, which means all fixes need to be in on 2018-04-24. There's a weekend in there, so that just means *five* working days. If both branches are going to be kept and tested in a "could go this way" state up until the final freeze, that could work. But if it's "all development on new thing, old thing left in the freezer", I'm afraid five days isn't enough time to get it out and get it into shape again. Keeping both approaches up-to-date and tested seems like a lot of extra work. On the other hand, putting the decision much earlier means that we don't get the benefit of beta feedback. My inclination is to ask for a contingency-activation check a week _before_ the final freeze, which gives an extra two weeks (ideally) or one week (if the beta slips) to get the contingency into shape.
