The D-Day is scheduled for June 17, presumably some at the morning PDT
(Mountain View, CA headquarter time zone) ~= GMT evening of June 17.
At the same time the exact hour is not specified because the release
is not released until released: and a last moment adjustment thus
delay are not expected but accounted.
