[meta] Release Drupal 11, possibly in 2024

Generated a mindmap with my usual script to make it easier to grok this. On the left the pre 11-branch issues and the right the post-branch issues.

Attaching Freemind XML file as well. I use Mindnode (https://www.mindnode.com/) to browse this but should be supported by other apps too :) Rename to .mm!

Updating intro of the issue summary with release timeline information.

As 🌱 [11.x] [meta] Set Drupal 11 platform and browser requirements at least six months before the release Active just got in and given the 6 months period, can I conclude that we have missed the release window for mid-June and late July?

@daffie if we complete the beta requirements by April 26, we can still release in July: https://www.drupal.org/about/core/blog/drupal-11-will-be-released-either... →

@daffie PHP and database requirements were set in January-ish and in CRs, so even though we didn't close the IIS issue until more recently, it meets the 'six months' deadline for end of July well enough.

I personally haven't given up on April 26th yet, we have jQuery 4 and PHPUnit 10 to finish which are hard blockers. Everything else like module/update removals can be done very quickly (and have been deliberately delayed so we only have to do things once instead of multiple times like we did for Drupal 10) and if they were the only things left we can probably squeeze things in / stretch deadlines slightly, since 10.3 beta doesn't depend on those and could go out exactly on time.

If jQuery 4/PHPUnit 10 aren't committable by April 26th though then almost certainly we'll need to push to the December window.

Drupal 11 is in the title, so dropping the first 11.x

Updating IS as the fixed release date of D11 has been published → .

This can now be closed, right? 🎉

Thanks! 🙏
