I have a comment myself. :-) Seems I was a bit to eager to get this all back on track. Some feedback I got showed that this came as surprise to some and might not be the best timing to give only a two weeks notice to gets things in order just after season holidays for many. Its a fair point. As much as I want to decouple features from releases its unfair to force this on people when we did not talk about it for 5 months. Additionally there is FOSDEM coming up which means travel and less time for work for some. Taken that into account and slept over this we should push the freeze back to February. Any input on this? Any other dates I should take into account? If nothing else comes up I will come up with a new schedule next week. regards Stefan Schmidt > === Schedule === > 2018-08-17 Merge window for 1.22 opens > 2019-01-18 Notice about soon ending merge window > 2019-01-23 Merge window is over.
