Problem/Motivation

In 🌱 [11.x] Policy: target Drupal 11 for 2024 with June/August/December release windows Fixed we decided to standardize our documentation about 3 release windows for major versions: June, August, December.

Previously on that issue, there was discussion about us skipping the June 2024 window for Drupal 11.0.0.

If/when we decide to actually skip June 2024, it would be helpful to communicate that in an official post somewhere, similar to what we did for Drupal 10.0.0 β†’ .

    The major unknown for third party dependencies is jQuery 4 which has both an almost 100% milestone and no indication of a release date yet. By extension this might also affect jQuery UI which we still have some of in core.

    More controllable on our part, but not small, is πŸ“Œ [meta] Convert all core plugin types to attribute discovery Active which we'll need to complete before 11.0.x is released if we want to remove annotations in 11.x (to drop the Doctrine annotations dependency).

    We would need to either resolve or explicitly defer those for March 2024 in order to release in June 2024.

    Yes to elaborate on #2, various things make it unlikely we'll hit the beta deadline for a June release, and I also don't think we should crunch for it either, but given we're in a good position to allow a longer support cycle for Drupal 10 at the same time as fully starting 11.x prep, and it allows for us to standardise all the documentation around a predictable pattern, we shouldn't pre-emptively skip it.
