That sounds like a good plan to me, thanks Tony!

This should give teams some time after the stein work settles down to do any
final backports they think are important before that final release and
transition to EM.

I wonder if we should just make that the general policy that we will wait a few
weeks after the current series final release so there is a window where teams
don't need to be worrying both about current work and stable backport work. At
least once things get back to aligning on six month windows.
