The API finalization query link is broken. Please fix it, and maybe check the template that presumably gets used when creating new iteration plans.

[Tyriar]

John Murray (@gjsjohnmurray) thanks, fixed. I think future plans are based on the previous month's plan so it should be good now.

[cinderblock]

What is the status of including #127365 in the Stable release? Is there any way/place to track the progress of that (and other, seemingly finished/stable) feature?

I'd comment on that issue specifically but it is locked and I'm not sure where else to ask...

[deepak1556]

Cameron Tacklind (@cinderblock) it is discussed in #183297, you can follow it for updates.
