> Comments are welcome! > +1 I do like a lot the fact that this, as Wei mentioned, gives us the chance to (at least potentially) deliver new features and improvements much faster/more frequent to downstreams and end users. Also, I think the idea of code and feature freeze, with freeze exceptions, was a good idea, and served us well for the first couple of releases for which it's been in effect. However, lately, maybe also because of changes/evolution of the project and the community, it has IMO shown its limits, and did cause issues, so I'd really love ditching that.
