Does this means the date will not be updated in the CHANGELOG.md for 4.17?

Cheers,

Hi Julien,

(+George since this is about the release date)

Again sorry for causing your confusion. But actually I am also confused after
checking CHANGELOG in our previous releases, because none of them
is precise...

So in 4.16 [1], the link of the release was not correct (I believe we fixed this),
in 4.15 [2], the release date was TBD, and in 4.14 [3], the 4.14 entry was not
created. 

This makes me a little bit curious about what we are going to do this time,
as you are the release technician, so I will follow your working style.

Either (1) We make a fixed date of release and commit the updated version of
this patch with this fixed date and release tag before branching, then don't touch
the CHANGELOG at all after, Or (2) We branch off later this month and update the
CHANGELOG one or two days before the official release, works for me.

[1] https://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=tag;h=refs/tags/RELEASE-4.16.0
[2] https://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=tag;h=refs/tags/RELEASE-4.15.0
[3] https://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=tag;h=refs/tags/RELEASE-4.14.0

Kind regards,
Henry

Personally I think it should be the latter approach. Who know by how
much more we're going to slip ...
