Re: EDK II Stable Tag release edk2-stable201808 and quiet period starting today

["Kinney, Michael D" <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>]

Hello,

I have committed the patch and closed the following
issue:

https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1087

I have not seen any additional requests for critical
bug fixes.  If I do not see any additional requests
in the next few hours, then I will add the following
tag to edk2/master.

	edk2-stable201808

Thanks,

Mike
