CNTT Elbrus release planning (for reference)
Proposed milestones
Note: this table is ONLY intended to identify criteria for the milestones (i.e., a checklist to determine whether the milestone has been reached). It does not speak to how these items will be done, or when they will be initiated. Those will be determined separately.

RC - If there is a new or updated RA, then we will need a new, or updated RC. Note that this is NOT necessarily the same RC referenced by the RI under development in the current release cycle. It may be the same, if the plan is to complete an RC before development of the RI within the same release cycle (see M2).
- Affirmation from RC workstream lead that RC will be developed in the current release cycle.
- GitHub
- Release manager sets release name
- Release manager sets milestone dates

- Plan for set of milestones for software development, since we have agreed that specifications and software will use different cadences.
