Due to the upcoming holiday season, we will be skipping the Dec 25/Jan 1 ansible-core release window. This same window was skipped last year. This will likely be a pattern that holds true from year to year.

We are scheduled to release ansible-core 2.16.1, 2.15.7, and 2.14.12 on Dec 4, 2023, and will then pause until the Jan 22/29 release window (pending applicable backports necessitating a release).

The ansible-core release schedule operates on a 4 week cycle, with release candidates releasing 1 week before the GA release date.
