We may not highlight it. I disagree: many organizations use "start of business" (e.g. 9AM) or "end of business" (e.g. 5PM) as "common sense" deadlines, on any given date. I think it's a really simple update. Just replace, in the header, Date(UTC-8) with Date (00:00:00 UTC-8) That should suffice.

Hi, all Two features (Add SMM CET support and Add WiFi Connection Manager) get Acked-By or Reviewed-by near the soft feature freeze date. CET is X86 specific feature. WiFi connection manager is the standalone feature. Their impact should be small. So, I suggest to include them in this stable tag edk2-stable201903. If you have different opinion, please raise.
