CentOS - Aug 2019 - CentOS 8 will be released soon?

Good afternoon from Singapore,

According to the CentOS 8 build timeline, everything has been completed except
release work. Does this mean CentOS 8 will be released soon?

It means dealing with a ton of little IRQ's that built up over the
builds. There are all the updates which have gone out from Red Hat
since their .0. There are trying to find all the little nagging things
people find which someone will say 'Why didn't CentOS people actually
find this blaringly obvious problem I found in 30 seconds.. are they
all idiots?' which happens right after every release. And there are
the 'ok could we get this one more thing?' stuff which pile up also.
This happens in some every .0 release from 4 onward.. 2-3 weeks where
people wonder why stuff is being held from them...

I have had several people explain to me that my comments were
out-of-place and out-of-turn. When I wrote them originally I thought I
was going from experience of previous releases and thought I was being
matter of fact. In rereading I realized I was crass and grumpy. My
un-reserved apologies for that. I should have either not posted or
waited, reread and rewritten.

Just for the record. I found your post not grumpy at all and to the
point. But then, I live in a country where the average joke from your
good-humoured neighbor would get you a lawsuit for harrassment in the
United States.

:o)

I doubt that releasing CentOS 7.7 is a higher priority as many people are
using CentOS 7,

I'm not quite sure how to parse that...
