I'm ok with that, too.

Though, what do you think about the "2 months after all done"? Maybe
"at least 2"?

Giving a number makes people think less about the uncertainties, and
be more accepting, I think.

I know. And I think you guys are "at least 2 months with all bullets
checked", which for me is the important bit.

People that don't work on LLVM (or other large upstream projects)
don't quite get the volume of changes and interactions that are
needed.

We just need to make sure communities that want to be part of LLVM
show they understand.
