<p class="MsoNormal">This has been discussed (just now) in the release management plan (<a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/newton-relmgt-plan">https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/newton-relmgt-plan</a>) See point 8 under Communication/Governance Changes.
From an immediate standpoint, the RC phase of this cycle will be much stricter to prevent late breakages. Going forward, we’re likely going to establish an earlier feature freeze too, pending community discussion.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">On a separate note, this email prompted me to scan the governance for the dashboard plugins and it became apparent that several have changed their release tags, without informing Horizon of this release cadence expectation via IRC, email,
or our plugin feedback fishbowl. If we are to continue building a good plugin ecosystem, the plugins *must* communicate their expectations to us upstream; we do not have the time to monitor every plugin.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Consolas;color:#1F497D">[amrith] I’m unsure what this expectation is. I tried to google it but came up empty.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
