Wow...bad sentence in the previous post...perhaps this will be clearer
DCUT
DCUT+7 days Make RC available
DCUT+14 days Make Release or RC+1 available if needed
DCUT+21 release
Anything short of that doesn't allow enough time for the community to provide
feedback IMHO.

I think we could have done a better job in releasing 1.0 by allowing a
week for testing, a week for incorporation of feedback and follow this
process a couple of times. Unfortunately we ended up doing that anyway
which cost us about 4 weeks and the holiday didn't help. Based on that
experience I think the cut off and a named RC release, TCK and bug
feedback, cut and put out for another week and publish if no major
gotchas which I think extends your time frame for about two weeks at the
end. Anything short of that I think were trading quality off for
speediness.

How does everyone feel about a changes cutoff for 1.0.1 on Fri 27th
Jan, aiming for a 1.0.1 release in the 1st week of Feb.
The 27th would give us three weeks to get bug fixes in and tested.
Considering 1.0.1 is a maintenance release, hopefully it will be
easier to get out the door than 1.0.
The only non-bug fix that I am aware of that should be in 1.0.1 is
the IzPack installer.
