“There’s already a 20.09 milestone, why another project?”
The milestone has many “nice-to-haves” which have been carried over from previous releases, and does not represent a true blocker for a given release. I’ll try to address the items in the 20.09 milestone, but I won’t consider them as blockers, and able to be carried over to the 21.03 release if time doesn’t permit them to be resolved.
