Hi team, I am requesting the exception for the feature from the subject (find specs at [1] and outstanding changes at [2]). Some reasons why we may want to grant it: First of all all patches have been approved in time and just lost the gate race. Rejecting it makes little sense really, as it has been commented on by a good chunk of the core team, most of the invasive stuff (db migrations for example) has already merged, and the few parts that may seem contentious have either been discussed and agreed upon [3], or can easily be addressed in subsequent bug fixes. It would be very beneficial to merge it so that we actually get real testing on the feature ASAP (scheduling features are not tested in the gate so we need to rely on downstream/3rd party/user testing for those).
