So how are externally managed ConfigurationOf packages going to be handled
in this period? Last year I felt (maybe unjustified) that more than bug
fixes slipped in when an external package like Spec was synchronised in the
code freeze period.  Do developers of an external package like for Spotter
and Playground have to halt their feature development branch, so that bug
fixes can be incorporated separately?
