+1 for retaining the freeze. New features in the hours before a release should be the exception, discussed in public, and subjected to extra scrutiny. In the case of the JSON commit, I saw no discussion, just a Jira issue made at the same time as the commit. Did I miss something? This commit hit 2.9.x at the same moment it hit master. The commit itself looks great, and thanks to the submitter and committer for their efforts, but could this have waited until after the freeze? Could it have spent some time on master before backport? Given the problems getting to 2.9.0, I am reluctant to take unnecessary chances.
Kind regards, Ben.
