If you want to go down that route, then please update the

as I did previously.
It *is* in the checklist, and for all previous releases even 4.17, the
staging section was opened at the time of branching.
It doesn't tell me when it has to be done. The difference with 4.17 is
we don't yet have a date for the release. Hence why I delayed.
The thing that is different between 4.17 and previously is that 4.17
called it "unstable" where previously (and in the checklist) it says to
make the new section match the updated Xen major/minor number.
I still don't see the problem of delaying the CHANGELOG as I decided to
do. If you are not happy with it, how about you take over the release
technician process? It is already complex enough that I don't need
someone else to tell me exactly how I should do it.
