This plan captures our work in late December and January. Although longer, we treat this iteration as a 4-week iteration because most of us will have time off over the holidays, and it will take us a little bit to get going again once we are back. We will ship our January Update in in early Feburary.

Endgame

• January 28, 2019: Code freeze for the endgame
• February 1, 2019: Endgame done

The endgame details for this iteration are tracked in #67225.
