[ANNOUNCEMENT] K8s release 1.26 is postponed by two days to December 8

[Leonard Pahlke]

Hi all,

After a period of discussion [2], the Release Team has decided to delay the scheduled Kubernetes 1.26 release day by two days to Thursday 8th of December 2022 [0].

The Golang team will be rolling out new security patches (1.19.4 and 1.18.9) on our originally scheduled release date of December 6 [1], and we will therefore be pushing back the Kubernetes 1.26 release date by two days to incorporate the new versions.

Thanks,

Leonard Pahlke
Kubernetes 1.26 Release Team Lead
