Such changes should be rejected by the review team and postponed until the next series development opens ( which should happen when RC1 is published).\n\n\n\nRequirements freeze\n\n After the Flamingo-3 milestone\, only critical requirements and constraint s changes will be allowed. Freezing our requirements list gives packagers downstream an opportunity to catch up and prepare packages for everything necessary for distributions of the upcoming release.
