Status of the Noble archive opening

[Sebastien Bacher]

Hey Lukasz,

I didn't know we had the option to make some of our JIRA boards public, 
that's great, thanks for sharing! Should we perhaps reference it in the 
IRC release channel until the archive is actually open (the title still 
states 'Archive: Final Freeze')?

Having a discourse post would also be nice, especially if it contains a 
more easily understandable description of the current status and 
expectations (the JIRA cards is a long list but for example the 
toolchain one didn't include details on what toolchain changes we plan 
to do and how long it's going to have those in place)

Cheers,
Sébastien
