 - [ ] **Stage 0 - Finishing Touches**
     - [ ] Go through relevant libp2p repos looking for unreleased changes that should make it into the release. If you find any, cut releases.
-    - [ ] Run `go get -u ./...` to see if there are any out-of-date deps that look important. If there are, bubble them. Try to avoid _directly_ updating indirect deps in go-libp2p's go.mod when possible.
-    - [ ] Make sure local tests are passing.
-- [ ] **Stage 1 - Upstream Testing**
-  - Create testing branches in lotus & go-ipfs with the new go-libp2p release and run CI/tests. Many upstream projects are tested in CI, but lotus & go-ipfs are not.

-    - [ ] [ipfs/go-ipfs](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs)
-  - _(someday)_ Run upstream testground tests. Unfortunately, this is too time consuming at the moment.
-    - _(someday)_ Run bitswap testground tests.
-    - _(someday)_ Run DHT testground tests.
-- [ ] **Stage 2 - Infrastructure Testing**
-  - How: Using the testing branches created above, work with the infrastructure team to deploy the new libp2p versions to our infrastructure.
-  - Where:
-    - [ ] A go-ipfs gateway.
-      - [ ] Deploy
-      - [ ] Analyze
-        - [ ] Look at pprof profile dumps, especially CPU profiles and heap allocation profiles, noting any significant changes.
-    - [ ] A go-ipfs bootstrapper.
-      - [ ] Deploy
-      - [ ] Analyze
-        - [ ] Look at pprof profile dumps, especially CPU profiles and heap allocation profiles, noting any significant changes.
-        - [ ] Check peers (e.g., `ipfs swarm peers`) to make sure we're connecting to peers on all transports.
-        - [ ] Check advertised addresses and protocols (e.g., `ipfs id`) to make sure they're sane.
-- [ ] **Stage 3 - Release**
-  - [ ] Tag the release on master.
