IMHO we start release work based on a quarterly schedule and we finish it based on meeting quality goals. So right now I’m less worried about when the release will be done (because uncertainty) and more focused on ensuring we have demonstrated stability on the release branch. Hopefully that will happen sooner than 4/1…but it could take longer too.
