Roundtable

Jeff wants to change the release date for 62 from August 21 to Sept 4th (which is the day after labor day in the USA)

• Problematic for ESR52 EOL and SCL3 move?

> There is a due date on August 28th > We could ship ESR 61 1 week earlier > Security might not be happy with this > It would be a 10 week beta cycle and a 10 week nightly cycle > Also it would push 63 and 64 ripple effect (note nearly hard stop on current 64 Release date given all-hands and holidays immediately after) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QAbF2mM-v7usT8hrNIAnaz7ybDaRzPR-YfN_8sxWGhc/edit?usp=sharing - 2017/18 release schedule to understand impact
