Note the schedule is a little tight as we have condensed from 8-10 weeks to 6 weeks. We also do not have many available QA resources, so we will do a final smoke test rather than a full pass during the last week of stabilization. The smoke test will target issues resolved throughout stabilization, installation, basic run through the editor, rather than an overall thorough pass.
