I didn't get this. You meant the merge window for the next cycle after your
changes are expected to land?

My common sense tells me that there will be no real users (except developers)
for any kernel that's marked as vX.Y-rcZ. Assuming that we announce the ABI in
the release, we should use date of the estimated relase. In this case I would
use September 2024.
