goals [0].

General Information
-------------------

We are now past the Stein-1 milestone. Following the changes described in [0]
we have release most of the cycle-with-intermediary libraries. It is a good
time to think about any additional client (or deliverables marked as
type:"other") releases. All projects with these deliverables should try to have
a release done before Stein-2.

All cycle-with-milestone deliverables have been switched over to be
cycle-with-rc [1]. Just a reminder that we can still do milestone beta releases
if there is a need for them, but we want to avoid doing so just because that is
what we've historically done.

Any questions about these changes, or any release planning or process questions
in general, please reach out to us in the #openstack-release channel or on the
mailing list.
