Based on that we are ~1/2 way through November and Thanksgiving in the US around the corner, I don't see much of the KnoxShell pieces getting integrated before end of November to make an end of November release. Specifically the following section:

There are a lot of moving pieces in that paragraph and would be good to make sure the Jiras are created and scoped appropriately. In addition to what was mentioned as features, there have been multiple new service definitions (Impala, Kudu, NiFi Registry) added as well as fixes to existing service definitions (Atlas, Livy, Ranger, Spark, YARN). So +1 to an end of November release, but need to make sure not trying to rush in new things just because a release will happen. There will be more releases.
