I'm ok with this schedule. We're having some blockers in TripleO,
mostly under control but still not merged in our source code.
I thought we could release RC3 today but it's pointless given the fact
we still have critical bugs open.

This proposal would help us to reduce the list of bugs and make a
better release.
