Hi teams, As 2025.1 Epoxy was released last week and we are in a less busy period (except the PTG :)), now is the good time to call your attention to the following: In 3 weeks 2023.2 Bobcat is planned to transition to End of Life [1] (planned date: 2025-04-30). Note that 2023.2 Bobcat is not a SLURP release, hence it is not eligible to transition to Unmaintained [2] and will move to End of Life directly and the tip of stable/2023.2 branches will be tagged with 2023.2-eol tag and stable/2023.2 branches will be deleted afterwards. To projects with cycle-with-trailing release model (Kolla, OpenStack Ansible, Puppet OpenStack): transition of your projects have an extended deadline, ~2 months after the planned EOL date (2025-04-30). I have generated the list of the current *open* and *unreleased* changes in stable/2023.2 for every repositories [3] (where there are such patches). These lists could help the teams who are planning to do a *final* release on Bobcat before deleting stable/2023.2 branches. Feel free to edit and extend these lists to track your team's progress! *NOTE*: teams, please focus on wrapping up your libraries first if there is any concern about the changes, in order to avoid broken (final!!) releases! Also please try to avoid any regression in the final stable release and do not propose any release that has only non-functional code changes.
