Thanks Allison for replying by clarifying your needs, it helps a lot.

Honestly, I wasn't asking for a two-week delay (matching with RC1), I was
just pointing out the difficulties to provide a release document as the
exact same time we were rushing into the feature deadline.
To be clear, shall we accept to punt by one week the cycle highlights
delivery deadline, I'd be more than happy with it as personnally I'd target
my duty to be done this Monday.
