I notice the Final Release date was moved a few weeks earlier from an earlier draft. If we ship much of the latest GNOME stable release (3.24) like we did with Yakkety (3.22), then it would be more convenient (fewer SRUs) to have Final Freeze be just after GNOME's 3.24.1 release [1]. I propose that Final Freeze be pushed one week later to April 13 and Final Release be pushed one week later to April 20. For reference, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS was released April 21, 2016 and Ubuntu 15.04 was released April 23. I don't know yet whether we will try to ship the latest GNOME this cycle. Some apps will be using GTK+4 and it's important that popular Ubuntu themes can handle that. And there's a very narrow window between GNOME's UI Freeze and Ubuntu's Feature Freeze in which to do the uploads to avoid needing Ubuntu Feature Freeze Exceptions.
