The Feature Freeze Exception process is for approving the merge of
changes whose specs/blueprints are already approved. Unfortunately,
IIUC, your blueprint is not approved, so it is not possible to
request a FFE for merging the changes in question.

The deadline for requesting Spec/Blueprint Freeze Exceptions has
passed quite a while ago now.

Daniel
