The WildFly OpenShift images usually are released a few days after the zip is available on wildfly.org, but for WildFly 26 we expect the delay to be longer, with the images being released after the New Year.

This release has a shorter development cycle, as we'd like to complete the zip release by mid-December so our great contributors can see it in the rear view mirror and relax over the year -end quiet period. We delayed the WildFly 25 release a couple weeks to finish up on our SE 17 work, but we didn't want to push WildFly 26 as well and have work on it open over the year end.
