Sure,

As of today we three blocking patches away from having a branch we can
cut a prerelease from:

* !10479
* !14620

In addition, there are a few not-quite-blockers which I am aiming to merge:

* !14644
* !14600
* !14609

My hope is that these can be merged by Thursday, at which point we may
be able have a release pipeline ready by Friday evening (15 Aug) or
Monday (18 Aug). This will be the first alpha.

Beyond that, the tentative plan is that the second alpha will follow
three weeks after the first (e.g. 5 Sept). The release candidate will
following three weeks after that (26 Sept), with the final release
coming two weeks later (10 Oct). This is a bit more condensed than the
usual release schedule, but ultimately we would rather avoid prolonging
the process too far beyond the original plan.

Cheers,

- Ben
