Blender 2.90 bcon3 still scheduled for July 22.
* There will be no splashscreen ready for bcon3/beta.
* List of targets is updated (some were marked as done because they were
postponed or non blocking (particle nodes, Cycles sampling patch)).

Patches that are blocking for bcon3 and need final review and to be
committed:
 * Multires modifier layout - D8187
 * VR scene inspection add-on updates - T78997

Patches that need final review/committed or postponed:
* EEVEE: GLSL refactor/cleanup - D8306
* Modifier option to preserve and interpolate custom normals - D6935
* Use consistent layout for custom operator UI - D8326

Features with undefined status:
* Add Object Tool

Antonio Vazquez to decide on the SVG I/O feature - it won’t be complete to
2.90 so it is either postponed or released in a known weak state.

Dalai Felinto to organize the 2.90 workboard to make the release status
more clear - there are too many tasks on the backlog. Some of the TODO
tasks are bugs, so not bcon3 blocking features.

Julian Eisel suggests bcon3 may need to be postponed, but to be seen based
on the pending tasks in the workboard once it is organized.
