FreeBSD 8.3 RC1 has been pulicly announced, it is now time for the the Ports Feature Freeze. Normal upgrade, new ports, and changes that only affect other branches will be allowed without prior approval, but with the extra Feature safe: yes tag in the commit message. Any commit that is sweeping, i.e. touches a large number of ports, infrastructural changes, commits to ports with unusually high number of dependencies, and any other commit that requires the rebuilding of many packages will not be allowed without prior explicit approval from portmgr@ after that date.
