That's not happening here. Bug fixes happen all the time. They are not time boxed. Every commit has to be "release ready". Depending on the impact of the reported bug, the merge of fixes might get delayed during the "stabilization phase" right before a release. This phase is usually 2-3 weeks long, starting from "RC1 target week": https://releases.openstack.org/pike/schedule.html Backports of bug fixes from "master" branch into "stable branches" will also be evaluated in terms of benefit/risk. Hope this helps answer your question. -- Regards, Markus Zoeller (markus_z)
