I can do another emoji heavy entry if no one wants to take a stab at it.

2.21.0 will be the next 'major' release. 2.20.0 was released on Apr 16, so a 6 week release spacing suggests a 2.21.0 close to May 28.

I read the "six week" rule as the rc0s were a fixed number of weeks apart, not the final release. That is a late release would not trigger the next release being later --> having more stuff --> taking longer to go out --> repeat. So 2.21.0 can go out as soon as it feels "stable enough".

Fine by me, but feel free to solicit others too (I'll leave it in your hands unless I hear otherwise 😄 )!

Ah, yes, I am unclear on the original intention but I think you may be right. I entirely agree with that cycle being a problem!
