The FreeBSD Ports Management team as decided to do a hard freeze to co-incide with the release of 8.4-FreeBSD RC1, tentatively scheduled for March 30. During this hard freeze, only security updates, critical fixes, and related fixes related to the clean-up of the tree will be allowed. This is a change from our recent Feature Safe policy. If you want/need something to get into the tree after the freeze, email a patch to portmgr@, and await approval. Once we feel the tree is in good shape for shipping, we will open up for a slush. More details on that once we get closer to release time. Thomas on behalf of portmgr@
