+===============
+Release kickoff
+===============
+
+These steps should be taken when starting a new major release, just after
+the previous release has been tagged (vX.2.0) and that tag has been merged
+back into master.
+
+Versions and tags
+-----------------
+
+- [ ] Update CMakeLists.txt VERSION (right at the top to X.0.0)
+- [ ] Update src/ceph_release with the new release name, number, and type ('dev')
+- [ ] Initial tag vX.0.0 (so that we can distinguish from (and sort
+  after) the backported (X-1).2.Z versions.
+
+
+Define release names and constants
+----------------------------------
+
+Make sure X (and, ideally, X+1) is defined:
+
+- [ ] src/common/ceph_releases.h (ceph_release_t)
+- [ ] src/common/ceph_strings.cc (ceph_release_name())
+- [ ] src/include/rados.h (CEPH_RELEASE_* and MAX)
+- [ ] src/mon/mon_types.h (ceph::features::mon::FEATURE_* and related structs and helpers; note that monmaptool CLI test output will need adjustment)
+
+Scripts
+~~~~~~~
+
+- [ ] src/script/backport-create-issue (releases())
+- [ ] src/script/backport-resolve-issue (releases(), ver_to_release().. but for X-1)
+- [ ] src/script/ceph-backport.sh (try_known_milestones())
+- [ ] src/script/ceph-release-notes (X-1)
