I think the text of that email inadvertently (or intentionally?) changed the release process in a rather fundamental way that I disagree with. We never had a petsc-dev saying that a feature freeze will be in effect starting Xday and dumping 'master' into 'maint' without a feature freeze is reckless because we're knowingly advertising more stability (via the 'maint' label) than is actually present. > Irrespective the maint issue - the changes are not yet tested in > next.

My preference would be to push the release date back by a few days so we can ensure a more stable v3.7. This irrespective of whether Lisandro's changes are merged for v3.7.
