That's what I understand, too.

Now, given it's workweek and holiday season, that's probably more like 8 
weeks of actual development.

I am wondering what we're expecting in terms of uplift requests, though. 
Both in terms of what's trying to get into 50, and also what's expected 
to get into 50.0.x?

We studied the process carefully and learned a lot. We have also identified additional areas for improvement and it’s time we iterate again.
