> Then we may have a lot of new drivers or features to integrate

	- compressdev
	- DPAA2 QDMA raw driver

> Usually we need two more weeks of bug fixing in RC3 and RC4,
> and few more days of validation before the release.
> It means the release will happen on the 23rd of May in the "best case".
> 
> During this time, we need everybody's help to finish the reviews.
