Note that I consider it risky to treat the timeline as already set in stone.

In particular, if we find that 2.99 needs a longer stabilization effort, we may need to slip 2.99.1 by a month or follow it with 2.99.2 or even 2.99.3, and 3.0 may have to coincide with one of these later maintenance releases. Anything beyond the end of this year is in "we do not yet know and we will play it by ear when the time comes" territory.

Thanks.
