+overlap with other releases or are otherwise problematic.
+Dates are the release deadlines intended for managed projects.
+Self-managed projects that wants to integrate the distribution have one week
+to release once managed projects are ready.
+
+Each milestone is usually evaluated at a TSC meeting, which dictates deadlines.
+Nominal deadline is midnight UTC on the particular date. As an example, a date
+of 2022-10-06 means that all deliverables are due no later than
+2022-10-06T00:00:00Z. The corresponding TSC meeting happens either on
+9am or 10pm Pacific time. The slack time between the deadline and the actual call
+can be used for justified last-minute work if the need arises (though in general
+WE SHOULD NEVER need it). If such last-minute work results in a SimRel candidate
+build not being available, the reasons for that need to be discussed at,
+and documented as part of, the corresponding TSC meeting.
