Hi Elod,
I share the same concern as Sylvain. In cinder, we have provided an extension of 1 week after the FF to features so we are really not sure which changes are going to get in. I can prepare the highlights with the features we already have merged but that won't include the whole list.

I think the deadline is more like something to connected to Feature Freeze. ~After Feature Freeze we know what's in the cycle. If a project requests a Feature Freeze Exception, then of course, the FF will happen somewhere between official FF date (Milestone 3) and RC1, and hopefully closer to Milestone 3 date than RC1 date.
I understand that PTLs are busy with reviewing the last feature patches, but I think this is more like a best effort, too, to prepare it as soon as possible, after the Feature Freeze.
I don't know when exactly the Marketing team is processing the cycle highlights, but I guess they also handles these a bit flexible way. Probably to generally state that highlights are only needed by RC1 would give them much less time, more postponed / missing docs handling / more hurry. So while I think we have a bit of a flexibility with the deadline (1-2 working days don't really count), the best is to try to prepare it as soon as possible. Anyone from the Marketing team or from Release team, correct me if i'm wrong.

Hi,
This is a reminder, that *this week* is the week for Cycle highlights [1][2]! They need to be added to deliverable yamls so that they can be included in release marketing preparations. (See the details about how to add them at the project team guide [3].)
I'm confused. If I read correctly [3] it says that cycle highlights can be delivered at RC1 which makes sense to me as it's post-FeatureFreeze. Asking for cycle highlights the week of the FeatureFreeze is both counterproductive and non-logic : While some changes are still on debate and while we're not yet done with merging features, we need to write a document saying what we'll get.
Couldn't we officially accept the projects to provide their highlights only at RC1 ? Is it a marketing problem because RC1 is closer to the GA ? -Sylvain
