Below is a summary of where we're at on the 2.0 release. As you'll notice,
according to this schedule we would be in RC1, but due to the number of
outstanding bugs we're not quite there yet.

So, rather than reformulate another schedule I wanted to publish this to
give folks an idea of where we're at and once RC1 tags approx how long it'll
take before the release is done. I personally expect RC1 to tag within
the next 2 weeks and we'll publish that here when it happens as well.

Also attached are the list of critical PR's from testing that have been
noted as critical. IPF 4.1.3 still remains to be merged into the branch at
which point the remaining bugs will hopefully be fixed (or easy to fix).

------

Original Branch date: Mar 28 2004
 
Current schedule: - Slipped from original. Re-re-worked one is below:

*Mar 29nd - July 17th - Beta period - Testing feedback and pullups
July 18th - RC1 tag - Only pullups past this point are for showstoppers. Any
                     pullups will cause a new RC cycle so be aware of this
                     when asking for something.
**July 19th - Aug 2nd - RC1 testing
Aug 3rd  - RC2 tag or final release tag - Assuming nothing was wrong w. RC1
                                           If RC2 then final release pushes out
                                           2 weeks, etc.
Aug 17th - Announce release after ftp uploaded, iso's created and mirrors   
           synced.
 
*The decision to stop beta and go to RC1 is based on the overall quality of
 the release, not a specific timeframe. 4 weeks was a rough estimate on how 
 long this was going to take originally. Based on bugs this was extended
 multiple times.

**The 2 weeks listed here assumes an RC candidate that has no issues. After 2
  weeks of feedback/testing if it's good we'll go to the next stage. If there
  are any issues a new RC will be cut and the cycle started over for it.   

Pullups processed: 690 since original branch,
                   80 in the last 3 weeks.
                   12 currently open
