Comparing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/3.7 I find currently: - the 3.7.0 is already too late for a Alpha1/FeatureFreeze - the 3.7.1 is already currently is ok for the BetaFreeze (LibreOffice is seeded) - the 3.7.2 release is fitting in just before Final Freeze - the 3.7.3 release is already a SRU (stable release update) > Possible solutions: > > 1.

The number of weeks for bugfixing stays the same. 3.x.3 is already too late for us currently -- however, pushing back two weeks would make 3.7.2 miss final freeze. In that case I would have to seriously consider to not ship that series at all -- shipping with a 3.7.1 is very likely too early. > 3. Remove 3.7.0-rc3 or some beta.
