This is why I asked if everyone is OK with my original time line. I don't want to speak on behalf of all of the other devs because I don't know what their schedules look like. We should not be tagging all the other repos until folks have had a chance to reply in case there is any outstanding issues. I'm perfectly fine with proceeding with my original time line. It sounds like we just had a few translations that needed merged so I fine waiting until that is complete before we start building packages.
