I haven't fully caught my breath yet, but don't want to impede Stefan's legacy from getting out the door. Let us officially freeze in one weeks, next Friday, Nov 13 at 11:59 PM UTC, so that any ready, last minute features can get in before 25.1 is closed. Then we'll take a pause and review whether anything should be allowed after the freeze. Once we're comfortable with the bug situation, we release. I'd like to take a somewhat generous period for bug fixes, with feature work happening in the meanwhile on topic branches. All severe bugs should either be closed, or consciously deferred, before letting 25 out the door. John
