It's already the end of the month, if we want to get a release out say next Monday, I suggest to enter freeze sometime tomorrow (Tuesday), then plan for RC2 around Thursday, and then the release can happen over the week-end of next Monday. I hope this work if needed we can push everything by 1 day if there is too much in the pipe. Please note that as usual the best for end of year is to plan the following release 5.0.0 around mid January and then 5.1.0 at the end of Feb to account for slowdown around end of year and the short month of February. Hopefully that works for everybody !
