This page tracks release information for 21.01

The schedule below is FINAL, agreed on during the VPP community meeting 13 Oct 2020.

Milestone	Date	Deliverables

Release gate	2021-01-20 (RC2+7)	Deadline for patches destined for the release
Formal Release	2021-01-27 (RC2+14)	21.01 release artifacts available.

NOTE: Dates chosen based on:

We need to be disciplined with respect to bugfix commits. Here are a few common-sense suggestions:

All bug fixes must be double-committed to the release throttle, and 20.09 LTS, and the master branch
- Commit first to the master branch, then "git cherry-pick" into release throttle
- Manual merges may be required, depending on the degree of divergence between throttle and master
All bug fixes need to have a Jira ticket
- Please put Jira IDs into the commit messages.
- Please use the same Jira ID for commits into the stable branch and master.
