      Discussion from Brad on release schedule being too close to Yocto
      release to allow for other downstream components to adopt the 2.6 release
      and still have time to test
      -

      Proposed to move farther after Yocto and to fall after the end of
      year holidays

      2019

      -

      Homework will be for each company to fill in table based on Must,
      Want, Nice
      -

         Must = must be in this release cycle
         -

         Want = needed feature, but lower priority, could be in the next
         release with some pain
         -

         Nice = needed feature, not important to complete this release
         -

      Backlog: Complete table, agree on top deliverables, assign leads
