After discussion with our release manager, the deadline is now set to Monday, 13. April 22:00 UTC. The original plan was to do the final export from Rosetta on Friday 17th. However, the current export (started on Friday 22:00) is still running, so the time to produce the langpacks would take too long to make it into Jaunty. Therefor we just decided to put the cut-off to Monday 22:00 UTC. > P.S.

I have asked the release managers, but didn't receive any answer yet. So, I would expect it not to happen. But you may be lucky. We are in preparation for the RC, right now.
