cc @mcoker @thatblindgeye If you know of anything to block the release feel free to leave a comment.

Kayla and I think the ChatBot stuff looks fine. I checked manually against the release candidate versions within the docs framework and didn't see any regressions. We also had a few products test that version of the extension. Checked the box! I think we will need to update the docs framework version in ChatBot before the final release number goes out.

@dlabaj staging lgtm!

[thatblindgeye]

@dlabaj I think things look good overall. There's some followups for the animations codemod that we should at least try to get in (really only 1 thing fro dual list selector), but it won't really break anything as-is -- it'll just add a prop that won't do anything/isn't necessary.

Release highlights I left some feedback is all.

I added the remaining work for this release. Please check them off as they are completed:

• @mcoker Move more styles behind the animation feature flag - Bug - Table - animation styles conflict patternfly#7662
• @gitdallas Code mods - Make table optional
• @edonehoo Update release highlights and codemod sections
• @thatblindgeye Do we need more information about table composition, and how that may impact table performance?
• @edonehoo @thatblindgeye Memory intensive components (spinners) can deactivate animations.
• @thatblindgeye Make animations opt in beta for Table
