<br>
Daisy and I have been chatting about the String Freeze guidelines.<br>
<br>
After our conversations, and some discussion in the cross project<br>
meeting, I have updated them here:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StringFreeze" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StringFreeze</a><br>
<br>
It seems the general string freeze got accidentally got made super strict.<br>
<br>
Hopefully this slight relaxing of the rules will work better for<br>
everyone, particularly for our users.<br>
<br>
Certainly right now we are only merging bug fixes, but they often<br>
include the need for extra log messages, or similar. Right now we are<br>
hiding logs as debug messages, etc, to try and get them merged during<br>
the freeze. The above changes should stop all that pain, and help our<br>
users too.<br>
<br>
Does this sound sensible?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
John<br>
