I understand. So, we still keep stable201905. 

Now, I don't get the message from Wang, Jian and Ard. 
So, I don't know how much effort are required. Because 
I have sent the announce to enter in the soft freeze, I think 
we are still in the soft freeze.  I will delay hard freeze announcement 
until we have the answer.
