Delaying the rest of the schedule by 10 days would bring us perilously close to Christmas to get the release builds done, and it may be a busy period for porters and packagers. A lot of work as been done already to stabilise the release, and we could try to compress a bit the testing period and either stick to the original schedule , or delay it by one week. Another option would be to delay the release until mid January.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Option 1: Stick with original release date</div><div class="">------------</div><div class=""><div class="">November 12: Release cycle starts, testing announced</div><div class="">November 22: List of bugs published.
