I'm waiting with bated breath for [index sealing](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/10032). It looks like there is a bunch of stuff left in [1.6](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Av1.6.0) but I see that you have a habit bumping the release tags sometimes. So what is your sense of a release for 1.6? Weeks? Months? ---

It's looking like weeks to a month at this stage. Index sealing will be one of the big things in this release, and I'm _really_ looking forward to it 😃 ---

Yeah! It'll be great. My last rolling upgrade took 3 days because we had some trouble with the script that made us not want to automate it while we slept - so a human had to start each server. and 30-40 hours spreads over three days when you do that. It'll be like Christmas. ---
