Re: [cdt-dev] Proposed Schedule for 8.3 and 8.4

Hi Doug,

Thanks for looking into that. This schedule looks good. For SR2, I think
it would probably be simpler to do a 8.3.1 or else we would have 3
active branches for a while (assuming we would be doing a 8.3.1 before
June). We could still back port fixes to the 8.2 branch on demand like
we do for older branches right now. With that in mind, would it be OK
to contribute CDT 8.3.1 to the Kepler release train for SR2?

Marc-Andre

(BTW, I think Marc K will likely want to comment on the schedule but
he's on vacation right now this week and next week, I believe)
