Mike:
  Once the release is deferred, the release will happen June. 
  So, the stable tag will be changed to edk2-stable201906.

Wang, Jian and Ard: 
  I see you are working on this patch. Can you give the fix plan?
  Then, I can propose new schedule on edk2-stable201905 tag. 

  Because the release is deferred, I will not send announcement for hard freeze this week.
