Hi Konstantin, Thanks for kicking off 1.18! As mentioned by Jing we’d like to participate in the new cycle, and hope my experience in 1.17 could help.
About the feature freezing date, I’m also thinking to set it around mid July. 1.18 will be a larger release with more features to work with compared to 1.17. In 1.17 we have ~3 months for development so I think 3.5 months for 1.18 would be reasonable.
