Focus
-----

Major feature work should be well under way as we pass the second
milestone.

General Notes
-------------

Keep in mind that we freeze releases of all libraries between the third
milestone and the final release to give downstream packagers time to vet
the libraries. Only emergency bug fix updates are allowed during that
period, not releases for FFEs. Prioritize any feature work that includes
work in libraries to ensure that it can be completed and the library
released before the freeze.

Release Actions
---------------

A few projects have not yet submitted their newton-2 milestone tag. See
