then only focus on fixing bugs and polishing things to make a solid coming
release.
- After a regular procedure-following release (made on Wednesdays), the
feature window remains closed until the following Monday in case of special
actions or patch releases etc.
If a future release date happens to end up on a "bad date", like in the middle
of common public holidays or when the lead release manager is away traveling,
the release date can be moved forwards or backwards a full week. This is then
advertised well in advance.
Coming dates

Based on the description above, here are some planned release dates (at the
time of this writing):
