We're not planning on waiting two months. First, 3.7.0 final is not planned to release until 2018-06-15; if necessary, there could be one or more emergency bug fixes in it. Second, "before the end of July (< 2018-07-31)" does not mean we have to wait until the end of July. If necessary, it could be near the beginning of the month, so closer to two weeks after the release. Right now, our focus should be on getting high-quality 3.7.0rc1 and 3.7.0 final releases out there to our users and then we can focus on what comes next.
