Hi Régis, I see the point, thanks for raising this. The source of the freeze exemption is that last-minute pull requests were merged without much review just to get it in. In the end, this often resulted in worse code quality because no in-depth review had been done and only issues that surfaced

Hi all, maybe from a voter point of view, this is uncomfortable to vote for last minute exemptions, as this does not have such sense from a democratic perspective. Voting is essential on strategic issues, but voting on "do you want this now, or within 4 months" may not appear so important - except

Feature freeze is coming end of next week with a freeze window of 6 weeks. In the past, we have regularly granted freeze exemptions to some features upon request. I think it would be good to know, what we can expect this time to decide on what is granted and then send them over to Loomio for
