Except for the week-day correction that you noticed yourself, that would 
be fully in line with policy and would also be meeting the soft freeze 
deadline.

If the vote looks favorable, I'll also have a look at the implementation 
(so far I only looked at the tests, I also just added another test 
review) and if it looks good to me then I'll find a second reviewer for 
the implementation. You'll just have to make sure to react on the review 
notes in a timely fashion.

That should hopefully result in the technical review being concluded 
before the vote ends, so that the PR is immediately ready for merging.

Given that August 11 is also the day where Beta 1 is tagged, I'll ask 
the RMs to merge the PR (if vote is accepted and implementation is 
ready, of course) before tagging to avoid any timezone scheduling 
issues. After that, PRs may only land with RM approval, but given it’s a 
localized change and a small PR, I don't expect the approval to be 
denied, but I obviously can’t speak for certain.
