There was discussion of several options, including:
(1) requiring all exported APIs to follow the platform API freeze dates, or;
(2) having a 'non core API freeze data' that came a little later than the platform API/ABI freeze;
(3) making the freeze 'advisory' or just introducing a 'notification period'
making the freeze 'advisory' or just introducing a notify period would not solve the core problem in my opinion.
My vote is for option #2, maybe tieing this internal API freeze to the UI freeze date. I think minor changes to internal APIs in a stable branch (i.e. for 2.12.1) should be allowed after the first stable release, but running it by the release-team for approval still seems like a reasonable requirement.
