Re: Release date for log4j 2.17.2?

There is no specific release date. We have a set of Jira issues that we want to 
include in the release. Once those are all resolved the release will be created. 

I do not anticipate it taking too much longer at this point, although I had hoped 
the release would have already been done by now.
