Open Questions:

...

  • Do we want a single status for the current release + releases still in support periods?  Or do we want multiple status for these?
  • Do we even need status at all?  Can we instead lean on the approval/review dates?
  • What exactly does the process look like?
    • In terms of "communicating changes to the TC
    • wrt workflow/state transitions
    • etc.
