This Saturday.

Saturday after XDC, which means effectively the Saturday before XDC for
anyone attending. My flight leaves afternoon of Monday the 19th, so
that week is sort of lost. So maybe...

... move the non-critical bug deadline to 2016-10-01? Still leaves
three weeks for critical fixes. Either way, looks plausible to me. I
don't personally have any non-bug changes I want to land before 1.19.

In case anyone's wondering what patchwork query I'm using:

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/project/Xorg/patches/?submitter=&state=1&q=xserver&archive=&delegate=

Only fifteen of those ~80 have any sort of review on them...
