I am aligned here that we should not be firm on a date be flexible to get a more stable release out.
But could someone explain to me how would we measure this stability? The pipelines are green and the community members have cherry-picked all issues that were critical. Unless we have some process or measure to identify the stability there is no way we can pick a date whether its April 1st or earlier to create a release candidate.
