Hi Yun My initial plan was to draft the release today during EU hours, so that we have 3 full working days before Thanksgiving. I know that quite a few people in the community are based in the US and I wanted to be mindful of that.
In the e-mail thread about beta label removal [1], it seems that we do not have consensus yet. And I would like your opinion on how to best move forward with this. Would you be ok if we proceed without the `beta` label removal PR, in order to unblock the 1.3.0 release?
