I tend to agree with Mick. We should have a bit of time to look around and do a final cross check. Also, our CI is really painful these days and I am not talking only about test failures, but infra. On Tue, 8 Mar 2022 at 13:56, Mick Semb Wever wrote: > We do not want to encourage/enable the rush

Hi everybody, We discussed cutting the next release in May but did not provide more clarity about it. The cassandra-4.0 branch was created on the 1st of May last year. So it would make sense to do something similar this year. Does it sound reasonable? Should we plan some soft freeze before that? D
