As there have been no objections so far, I'd like to move that we begin the Chill phase of the release cycle today.
If there are any objections, please raise them ASAP.
Otherwise, we can begin the Regression Bug Hunt starting tomorrow.

Any other comments on the plan?
If there's no objections, then I'd like to propose we begin Chill in a week, on Dec 28th.
Between now and then would be a good opportunity to focus on bug triage. In particular, it would be helpful to get all bugs assigned a priority.
