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