I think it's time to start the next thread as well. According to NSF forum sources the official no earlier than date is still September 19th although a possible delay to 28th is discussed already, mostly because it's extremely unlikely that the pad can be turned around in 12 days even if the AsiaSat-6 launch happens on early morning of this Sunday.
This is the next ISS resupply mission bringing a lot of crucial components, one of which is replacement batteries that are actually really time critical as a number of tasks on ISS depend on their replacement. A delay is definitely something that no party wants on this, but I seriously doubt that they could do this kind of record turnaround even though reportedly both the dragon and the F9 core have arrived at Cape.
Also, this is the next flight where recovery will be attempted again and should be the last attempt that will land in water.
