Thanks! Backport-freeze for mid-December sounds absolutely reasonable! -Moritz On Fri, 24 Nov 2023 at 9:39 PM, Zubin Duggal wrote:

Thanks for raising this Moritz. We decided to do the release in December before we are busy with other matters in January like the 9.10 fork. However, we do see the burdern this would place on distributors to react just a week before the holidays.

We have decided to push the release date to the first week of January 2024.

Please note that we still plan to finalise the release branch by mid-December so what I said originally about marking patches for backport ASAP still applies.

Can I suggest the release to be pushed into 2024?

Releasing it on the 15th or a few days later will put significant burden onto integrators, and distributors. To react to the ghc release. Especially right before the holiday season for quite some.

Cheers, Moritz
