Hello, probably I should not reply quickly every time someone writes to this GCD so as not to obstruct a healthy discussion :)
The timeline should probably be discussed and fixed to some concrete values during the discussion period, as this is an important detail; with a balance between moving quickly (very desirable) and what we can effectively achieve. My fear is rather that the timeline is already too ambitious :) Just to put things into perspective, we have a backlog of team branches to be merged right now of about 3 months. So then not merging to master for 5 weeks or so would almost not be noticeable... Andreas
