We don't yet have a definite timetable, but I believe we have at least
2 weeks before we need to finalise the kernel package that will go
into the updated installer.  We can still make fixes as installable
package updates after that, but it's critical that we don't break the
installer.  You could ask me again at the point you have resources
available.
