[Several vendor contacts in BCC.]

For those that did not notice the website update adding the 11.2-RELEASE
cycle schedule, I apologize for sending this to public lists this late.
I thought I had done this, but apparently not.

The 11.2-RELEASE release cycle will begin April 20, 2018.  The schedule
for the release cycle is:

 stable/11 slush:         April 20, 2018
 stable/11 freeze:        May 4, 2018
 BETA1 build starts:      May 11, 2018
 doc/ tree slush:         May 12, 2018
 BETA2 build starts:      May 18, 2018
 BETA3 build starts:      May 25, 2018 [*]
 doc/ tree tag:           May 26, 2018
 releng/11.2 branch:      June 1, 2018
 RC1 build starts:        June 1, 2018
 stable/11 thaw:          June 3, 2018
 RC2 build starts:        June 8, 2018
 RC3 build starts:        June 15, 2018 [*]
 RELEASE build starts:    June 22, 2018
 RELEASE announcement:    June 27, 2018
 11.1-RELEASE EoL:        September 30, 2018
 Branch EoL:              September 30, 2021

 [*]   - If needed

The schedule is also available on the Project website at:
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.2R/schedule.html

As a reminder, the code "slush" is not a hard freeze on the tree and
does not require formal approval from re@, however we ask that you
refrain from adding new features, and focus on fixing existing issues.

The code "freeze" is the point at which all commits to stable/11 will
require explicit approval from re@.

If you are aware of any problems in stable/11, please let re@ know as
soon as possible.  Additionally, if vendors have driver updates that are
planned to be included in 11.2-RELEASE, please ensure the drivers are
updated in head (preferably as soon as possible, to catch any issues),
and merged to stable/11 following the minimum 3-day MFC timeframe.

Thank you.

Glen
