After the `.0` release monthly patch release will be created.
After the `.0` the .1 release will be created to ensure faster Kubernetes support after K8s 1.31.0 will be available.
After the `.1` we expect to release monthly patch release (more details will be provided in the 1.9 release schedule).

<sup>[1]</sup> Pending Kubernetes `v1.30` release [scheduled for April 17th](https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/tree/master/releases/release-1.30). This will be the first release cycle implementing faster Kubernetes support as introduced in [this PR](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api/pull/9971/files#diff-2bf0df29da8afa5540cf65166b0b876393482bedef71d023d87835bb1b3ecbcb).
Note: This release cycle there are some additional constraints for the .1 release due to planned test infra activities;
as a consequence .1 timeline has been compressed (from 1 week / 10 days delay of the last release cycle down to 2/3 days)
and maintainers might change plans also last second to adapt to latest info about infrastructure availability.
