X-BeenThere: ovs-dev@openvswitch.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.30 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: ovs-dev-bounces@openvswitch.org Sender: "dev" The documentation stated that for soft freeze, the development team would only consider merging new feature patches that had been "discussed and reviewed" during the soft freeze period. In reality, the OVN team has been willing to merge any new feature as long as it has been posted for review prior to the soft freeze date. The emails sent out by the OVN team prior to soft freeze have also stated that patches that were posted for review were under consideration for merging. To clear up confusion, the wording in the documentation has been updated as well now to indicate that patches simply need to be "posted" rather than being "discussed and reviewed" prior to the soft freeze date.
