[llvm-dev] [Openmp-dev] [5.0.0 Release] Schedule and call for testers

[Hans Wennborg via llvm-dev]

I don't know what the exact status of NewGVN is, but we generally do
timed releases rather than feature-based releases. If it's ready
before the branch point and doesn't break during the process it goes
in the release, otherwise not.

As far as I know it's not enabled yet, so I'm guessing it might not
end up in the release.
