The thread indicates the deployment will be on
Feb 6, but the body
indicates it will be on Feb 13. Perhaps a clarification?
I'm not sure but my first guess is that deployment and branching are
not the same day. Maybe that allows for a week of extra QA/labs beta
tests? or some last minute fixes after branching?
That's exactly it. Branching is the first step along the way. We
*could* conceivably branch really close to the 1.19 push to test2, but
branching beforehand gives us a chance to have things a little closer
to frozen for the final week before deploy.
