Project Offsets

Projects are classified into one of 3 offsets:

This is intentionally flattening the actual dependency graph

The intent is for projects that form key infrastructure of all other projects (e.g., controller) to operate at offset zero, projects which provide key network services to operate at offset one, and projects that others don't depend on to operate at offset two.

Deadlines for Release Candidates (RC0, RC1 and RC2) and the release are the same regardless of offset. Deadlines for M1 through M4 are offset by +1 week and +2 weeks.
