Well, ipxe update was discussed recently and I skipped it for 5.1 exactly because it would have landed during the freeze. And there was no good reason to risk that. For seabios I usually try to land larger updates at the begin of the freeze, so we have the whole -rc phase for testing. take care, Gerd
