[ovs-dev] OVS Soft Freeze date for 2.14 release

[Ilya Maximets]

Hi Ben,

We reached the "soft freeze" date yesterday. So, we probably need
to make announcement on a mailing list that soft freeze is started.

And we need to announce a "feature freeze" (branching) targeted date.
I think it might be good to announce today or tomorrow and set the
branch creation date to July 17th to round up the week as we did for
the last release. 

What do you think?  Will you take care of this?

Alternatively, If you don't have much time, I could take care of any
part of the release process.  Or all of it.

Regarding exceptions.  For the patches that, I think, should be in
current release, but missed the "soft freeze" date: we're waiting
for patches to recommend new DPDK stable releases to use with OVS.
I guess, these patches should be sent soon so we could accept them
before branching.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
