Thanks Joao. Your proposed schedule LGTM. I agree that we need to draw the line somewhere and call it a freeze sooner than later. That said we've been awfully busy with quite a few security issues and usually we've been trying to do two major releases a year, with first in Q1/Q2 and second one in Q3/Q4, if we try your proposed timeline we might have the release or at least a couple of RCs before CCC.
