<div class=""><p class="">I think the deadline is more like something to connected to
Feature Freeze. ~After Feature Freeze we know what's in the cycle.
If a project requests a Feature Freeze Exception, then of course,
the FF will happen somewhere between official FF date (Milestone
3) and RC1, and hopefully closer to Milestone 3 date than RC1
date.</p><p class="">I understand that PTLs are busy with reviewing the last feature

cycle highlights, but I guess they also handles these a bit
flexible way. Probably to generally state that highlights are only
needed by RC1 would give them much less time, more postponed /
missing docs handling / more hurry. So while I think we have a bit
of a flexibility with the deadline (1-2 working days don't really
count), the best is to try to prepare it as soon as possible.
Anyone from the Marketing team or from Release team, correct me if
i'm wrong.<br class="">

<pre class="">Hi,
This is a reminder, that *this week* is the week for Cycle highlights
[1][2]! They need to be added to deliverable yamls so that they can be
included in release marketing preparations. (See the details about how
to add them at the project team guide [3].)

<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">I'm confused. If I read correctly [3] it says that cycle
highlights can be delivered at RC1 which makes sense to me
as it's post-FeatureFreeze.</div>
<div class="">Asking for cycle highlights the week of the FeatureFreeze
is both counterproductive and non-logic : While some changes
are still on debate and while we're not yet done with
merging features, we need to write a document saying what
we'll get.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Couldn't we officially accept the projects to provide
their highlights only at RC1 ? Is it a marketing problem
because RC1 is closer to the GA ?<br class="">
