The reasoning behind this is rather simple, as adding something, that requires a spec during a 2d half of the cycle, seems like a not so good idea. Knowing that there would be a spec freeze of some sort, would probably </div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">1) make contributors want to write their specs beforehan</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">2) make reviewers review specs more often (although I’m not really sure if there is a good way to encourage spec reviews)</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">What do you think about such an idea? </div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">Obviously introducing a spec-freeze for liberty (without proper prior notice) is a bad thing to do. But sounds like a reasonable idea for M cycle. Somewhere between M-1 and M-2, maybe?
