OK, thanks a lot for the update! I totally missed that but I have
quite some backlog reading to do on Tor Browser team meeting minutes.

I'll update our release schedule and other plans accordingly.
This relaxes me a bit regarding #27466, #26553, and #28044
(Tor bugs, not Tails tickets).

Does this mean that the first 8.5.x release that has *no*
corresponding 8.0.x will be the 2019-05-14 one?

I wish Mozilla made it so they have a scheduled release *after*
Pwn2Own instead of a couple days before… anyway, thanks, that's
definitely something we should keep in mind. Added to our calendar and
to our checklist for building release management schedules, so we rely
a bit less on you to remind us of such important things :)

Cheers,
