Thoughts on calling for a feature freeze on adding any *new features* for the 
v6.4.0 project to give us time to focus on closing down the exciting features 
we have in there right now. I expect there to be some more back-and-forth in 
the review cycle.

Also— not suggesting everything in the 6.4.0 is confirmed to be “in” for the 
release.  Somethings may need to slide to v6.5.0 or v6.6.0— but don’t fret, it 
doesn’t mean it’ll be a long way out— we have a good cadence going!

Of course, bugs and security fixes can always be considered as needed.

v6.4.0 Project stats: 

Done: 50 items
In Review: 17
In Progress: 6
Ready: 3
Backlog: 6
