I believe that we are working towards this - it would make the most sense. |

Sorry if it seemed like an ultimatum - the release date is in fact |
27 |
flexible. While we are shooting for Jan 22, you do not have to release |
28 |
exactly on that date. Take the time to get done what you need to get |
29 |
done - if you go past the release date 5 days because GRP takes a 5 days |
30 |
to build, that is ok. Just do what you can in a semi-quick fashion |
31 |
(while maintaining good QA procedures), that is all that we can ask for :) |
