The biggest risk for a February 13 deployment

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.
