1803 (Targeted)?
1803 build 17134 is now available
Did it release as Semi-annual (Targeted) or Semi-annual?
windows-10 release-information
will it be the approximately 4 months before my rings begin to defer it as semi-annual or are they going to start installing it now if on the semi-annual branch???
Microsoft updated the docs to make it clear, that when Telemetry is set to Zero, the deferral policies do not take affect and you make get the feature updates.
Here are the links to the updated Docs

Important Devices on the Semi-Annual Channel (formerly called Current Branch for Business) must have their diagnostic data set to 1 (Basic) or higher, in order to ensure that the service is performing at the expected quality. If diagnostic data is set to 0, the device will be treated as if it were in the Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)(formerly called Current Branch or CB) branch. For instructions to set the diagnostic data level, see Configure the operating system diagnostic data level.

Note Users will not be able to change this setting if it was configured by policy. Important Devices on the Semi-Annual Channel (formerly called Current Branch for Business) must have their diagnostic data set to 1 (Basic) or higher, in order to ensure that the service is performing at the expected quality. If diagnostic data is set to 0, the device will be treated as if it were in the Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)(formerly called Current Branch or CB) branch.

The documentation is incorrect. 1803 is semi-annual targeted. If you have your deferral set to install feature releases as semi-annual it will be several months.
1803-semi annual targeted
1709-semi annual

"The documentation is incorrect."
that's cant be, Its Microsoft! they wouldn't release a feature update to 10 million devices and mess up the release communication (LOL)
I need MS to either fix their documentation or standby the release

Take a look at this. Why is 1803 installed on a client with Semi-Annual Channel?
