Thomas reminded me on IRC that I hadn't got round to drafting the release schedule for 5.2 yet. Here's some proposed dates: https://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/5.2#Release_Schedule
which would put softfreeze on the 27th Oct, Hardfreeze/rc0 on the 3rd Nov, and aiming for final release on the 1st December or a week later if we needed an rc4. (I know the 27th is the day before KVM Forum starts, but at least this week it's a virtual conference :-)) Opinions ? thanks -- PMM
