"Release date" means when we release to the public. You seem to be |
| 13 |
talking about a "snapshot date," the purpose of which is to give |
| 14 |
everyone on the project a cutoff date to be guaranteed that their |
| 15 |
changes to the tree get into the official 2004.0 release. All arches |
| 16 |
would snapshot on the 7th or later. |

If we do official snaps on the 7th+, this would allow us to do |
| 19 |
building/QA and release in late February, which to me seems like a |
| 20 |
reasonable an non-rushed timeframe. |

I think this would actually work well, if this is what you meant. |
