NOTE: This schedule is currently out of date as - unanticipated stability problems were introduced with the PAE MFCs. - Over the next 2 weeks we will try to correct those problems. On - September 30 we will have either fixed the stability issues, or we - will back out the PAE import and move forward with the 4.9 release - without PAE. In either case, the release will be delayed at least 2 - weeks from its original schedule, and picking exact dates will be - difficult until the PAE decision has been made.
