Laura and Neha will sync up about changing the time

Squid dev freeze date

Proposal: end of January

Docs question: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/11385: Can a member of the community just raise a PR attempting to standardize commands, without coordinating with a team?

ballpark date for pacific eol? docs still have the '2023-10-01' estimate
