Hi and thanks for sharing your time constraints, 2016-11-15 01:46, Liu, Yong: > As prospect for 17.02, our intel validation team have some concern about the > release date. > The official day off for Chinese Sprint Festival holiday will be from 27th > Jan to 3th Feb. > Most of our members may ask for more days leave either before or after the > official day off. > From our previous experience, it will take 3~4 weeks to do the full function > and performance test. > If the first candidate release in the middle of Jan, > we can do first round of validation and raise issues to developers.
The integration deadline is January 5.

Yes, we must remind that mid-January is a hard deadline for RC1. Then the release will be in mid-February to make sure you have some time after the holidays. What about Valentine's day? :)
