I'm sorry to say that we've decided to delay the WildFly 18 Final release, probably by at least seven days.  There are a few critical bugs we want resolved in the final, and those will require some component upgrades that will take some time.

Please note that we won't be merging further changes for 18 unrelated to the blocking issues that we're tracking.  If that starts to be disruptive we can look next week at creating the 18.0.x branch before the final and using it for the last few changes, opening master up for work on 19.

Thanks everyone, for all your efforts on WildFly 18!
