Yes.

Sorry, I don't follow.  The schedule above is for cutting the release
branch, which will start the Emacs 29.1 release cycle and will be
followed by a period of pretest.  When that preset ends and Emacs 29.1
will be released is not yet known beyond some general hopes.

So why are you worried about the Org release, and why are you talking
about fixing bugs after Emacs 29.1 is released? why not fix them while
Emacs 29.1 is in pretest?

Late November is just when we cut the emacs-29 release branch, so I
don't see how the release of Org 9.6 could be related to that in any
way.  What am I missing?
