+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.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
