It would be an aim, but last year validation teams were unable to commit
to test LTS releases before we had CVE releases on Dec 17th. In the end
they found some extra cycles to do it.

It was 3 weeks turnaround on testing this latest release, so we can
creep into holiday season and people OoO too.

So it could be either month and my thinking is I don't want anyone to
plan for it getting it in December and be left waiting. I'm not strongly
opposed to saying December, just it might be late.
