Thanks Andrew for the kind words.

I have updated the 11u schedule on the wiki [0] and hope to do the
first build promotion for 11.0.26 over the next few days. I'm just
waiting on Oracle putting the deployment keys in place.

I plan to follow much the same schedule as 8u, where each promotion
contains a week of changes Monday to Friday, rather than the mid-week
process used by SAP. I find this is both easier to follow as a contributor
and also more practical for me personally.
