So, if I understand this right, what we're currently thinking is that we
freeze March 15th. Depending on how stable the trunk is at that point (it
should be fairly stable, but we'll know for sure in early March) we
upgrade bmo on that date. Once we do the post-bmo stabilization (probably
about a 2 week timeframe) we put out 2.20rc1. Give that a week or so to
shake-down and if there's nothing major changed, put out 2.20. In an ideal
world, that would give us a release in the 1st week of April. That's still
only 3 months since 2.20 came out and seems entirely doable (manpower
permiting).
