[Release Planning 4.8] Samba 4.8.0

[Karolin Seeger]

Hi,

Samba 4.8.0 is scheduled for Thursday, March 1 2018.

The first release candidate is scheduled for Thursday, January 11 2018,
this means, the v4-8 branches will be branched from master at this point.

Please see
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Release_Planning_for_Samba_4.8
for details.

Given the fact that Christmas/New Year will cross the road, we should
start to work on the release notes asap. Please feel free to update
WHATSNEW.txt or to provide hints/information to me.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Karolin
