[Qemu-devel] REMINDER: new freeze rules

[Peter Maydell]

Just a reminder that
(1) softfreeze is on the 1st November (next Tuesday!) and
(2) we are trying a new set of rules for how freeze works:

 * by the softfreeze date all patches for feature work
   must be in maintainer trees -- if your patch is on the
   mailing list but hasn't been merged then it won't go in!
 * maintainers must send their last pull requests with new
   features before the softfreeze date
 * if a pull sent before softfreeze fails in the merge stage
   (eg test or build failure on obscure platform) then it can
   be resent with just the necessary fixes applied, but this
   is the only exception to 'no new features after softfreeze'

Hardfreeze is on the 15th, so the softfreeze is shorter than
it would have been under the old rules.

thanks
