[platform-dev] Transition of p2 Repositories from 4.13 to 4.14

The transition period between the point
time when one release cycle shuts down (2019-09/4.13) and the next one
begins (2019-12/4.14) is always kind of problematic.  At some point
I need to prepare the Oomph setups for the release and the start of next
cycle, and given 4.14 is "open" it's an awkward transition.
In particular, at this point in time
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.13is empty (except for categories, but nothing is in those categories) so
that's in a useless state.  And while http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.13-I-buildsstill exists, it will be deleted soon, so references to it will need to
change to the released 4.13 site (and it contains very recent builds that
are likely newer than the actual release build which makes it feel unstable
to me).  Eventually a repository like http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.12/R-4.12-201906051800will be created for the 4.13 release, but that doesn't exist yet for 4.13.  
I imagine it will be created soon so that it can be mirrored properly before
the release date.  
So  question for the platform
release engineers: What is the schedule for creating the 4.13 release repository
in its final permanent location?
