+1 Thanks for summarising the thread this way Benjamin. This addresses my two main concerns: letting the branch/release date slip too much into the unknown, squeezing GA QA efforts, while putting in place exceptional waivers for CEP-21 and CEP-15. I hope that in the future we will be more willing to commit to the release train model: less concerned about "what the next release contains"; more comfortable letting big features land where they land. But this is opinion and discussion for another day… possibly looping back to the discussion on preview releases… Do we have yet from anyone a (rough) eta on CEP-15 (post CEP-21) landing in trunk?
