-.. [1] In case there are any additional ansible-core beta releases or release candidates, we will try to do another Ansible-12.0.0 alpha release. This might mean that we will release Ansible-12.0.0 alpha2 earlier (and release Ansible-12.0.0 alpha3 or later on 2025-04-29) and / or release one or more additional alpha after 2024-04-29.
+The schedule has been updated to match the :ref:`ansible-core 2.19 release schedule <core_roadmap_2.19>`. If that one gets modified again, the Ansible 12 pre-release and release dates will be shifted accordingly, and potentially more pre-releases will be inserted.

 .. [2] No new modules or major features accepted after this date. In practice, this means we will freeze the semver collection versions to compatible release versions. For example, if the version of community.crypto on this date was community.crypto 2.3.0; Ansible-12.0.0 could ship with community.crypto 2.3.1. It would not ship with community.crypto 2.4.0.
