Release status

In series, the following will be released via che-release:

• che-theia, che-machine-exec, che-devfile registry,
• che-plugin-registry (once che-theia and machine-exec are done)
• che-parent, che-dashboard, che-workspace-loader, and che (server assembly), including release to Maven Central
• che-operator

Then, these steps will be done, which still require some manual intervention (PR verification is not yet automated):

• generation of OperatorHub PRs
• chectl

• che-theia, che-machine-exec, che-devfile-registry, che-plugin-registry
• che-parent, che-dashboard, che-workspace-loader, che
• che-operator (depends on all of the above)
• chectl (depends on che-operator)
• Che community operator PRs (depends on che-operator)

If this is a .0 release:

• send reminder to TLs to triage unresolved issues
• complete current milestone
  • move incomplete deferred issues to backlog
  • move incomplete WIP issues to next milestone
  • close completed issues
  • close milestone

@mkuznyetsov The open-vsx-related issue is fixed. Che-Theia build is stabilized now. https://github.com/eclipse/che-theia/pull/979

[mkuznyetsov]

looks like che-theia build is unavailable right now, from what looks like openvsx related issues: https://github.com/eclipse/che/issues/18960 https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/issues/9014#issuecomment-772633182

@ibuziuk I will have to wait to get unblocked on this, since che-server comes after theia&registries being built
