I had already added this question to the agenda of the Planning Council
meeting in July (which got canceled). So it's now on the agenda for next
week's call
(https://wiki.eclipse.org/Planning_Council/August_2_2017#Agenda).
Adjusting the GA date to 09/21 potentially conflicts(?) with the Photon
M2 release. So this should definitely be discussed and decided next week.
