Let me make sure I understand what you're saying. You want "Call for
test days" to start earlier in the cycle and the create test days task
to run until just before GA? So for example, if this was already
changed for F30, the timeline would look like this:

2018-10-23 Preferred F29 GA target
2018-10-30 Alternate F29 GA target
2018-11-20 Call for F30 test days
2018-11-27 Create F30 test days (start)
2019-04-23 Create F30 test days (end)

If that's not correct, can you please update my example timeline above?


Hey,

Exactly that's what I meant. Thanks :)

Thanks
