Please test and report issues on bugs.dpdk.org.
The -rc3 should include only some bug fixes, cleanups, doc and tooling.
Next Thursday (February 4) should be the day of closing 21.02-rc3.
The goal is to complete the release before the Chinese New Year
to allow a quiet rest during the Spring Festival.
Thank you everyone
