Hi all, Following is the status of the Intel validation team, If the -rc2 & -rc3 quality is good, the Intel validation team can finish the -rc3 testing before holiday starts (11 February) so that release can be done on 17 February. If the code changes need to happen after 11 February, or if there are more than expected defects on the -rc3 testing, pushing the release to 26 February is the safest option to complete all testing after holidays. Taking into account that -rc3 is on 5 February, this gives us a little time to code freeze to make release on 17 February.
