[wildfly-dev] Key dates for WildFly 18

[Brian Stansberry]

We've been working on WildFly 18 for a little over a month now, and I'm
past due to announce the expected schedule.  We've been monitoring
developments with Jakarta EE 8, work on which is heading into the home
stretch. If it goes final in time we'd like to both certify WildFly 18 at
release[1] and base our EE API jars on the Jakarta projects.[2] Please
recall that the Java EE 8 and Jakarta EE 8 API jars are meant to be binary
equivalent, so this change should not introduce runtime behavior
differences.

Anyway, here are the key dates in the WildFly 18 schedule:

- Fri, Aug 30 — PRs ready for merge for all features coming in via WildFly
Core
- Tue, Sept 3 — All features ready for merge
- Wed, Sept 4 — WildFly 18 Beta. No new features after this date.
- Fri, Sept 13 — All changes for WildFly Core ready
- Tue, Sept 17 — All changes for WildFly ready
- Thu, Sept 19 — WildFly 18 Final released

WildFly Core should continue to produce betas every couple of weeks; just
today Jeff Mesnil released 10.0.0.Beta2.[3]
