I've decided to follow anonym's "keep calm and stick to the plan"
advice, so there won't be any scheduled 2.12.1 release, and Tails 3.0
will be released on June 13. By the way, it's amazing that we were
able to predict a reasonable release date for 3.0 back in December
last year! :)

So here's the release schedule:

* 2017-06-09:
   - Import Tor Browser 7.0.
   - Bump APT snapshots ([[!tails_ticket 12609]]).
   - Freeze: all branches targeting Tails 3.0 must be merged into the
     `devel` branch by 15:00 CEST.


* 2017-06-10: Build and upload the Tails 3.0 tentative ISO image.

* 2017-06-11 and 2017-06-12: Test the Tails 3.0 tentative ISO image
(deadline: 2017-06-12, 17:00 CEST).

* 2017-06-13: Release Tails 3.0

Testers, please let me know if you are available on 2017-06-11 and/or
2017-06-12. Thanks in advance!

Cheers!
