ABI/API soft freeze reminder

[Hasso Tepper <hasso@xxxxxxxxx>]

Let me remind to you that there is ABI/API soft freeze now in effect until 
2.4 release. I know that we all wanted to do more in this cycle (libc_r 
removal etc), but as it's not done for now, sorry ... it has to wait for 
post 2.4 now.

The goal of the freeze is to provide relatively stable environment for 
pkgsrc development work so focus can be moved to fix packages not only to 
the breakages caused by the development in the base.

Soft freeze doesn't mean that bugs can't be fixed and development can't be 
done, but ... 

* Please not moving things around in headers even if the result is more 
  correct according to standards. No playing with standards etc related 
  ifdefs either, please.

* No changes to the public API/ABI in the libraries in the base. This 
  includes both removal and adding of the symbols, also removal and 
  adding of the libraries.

* No "sync library x with yBSD" either, please.

I'm sure I forgot something anyway ... ;) 


thank you for understanding,
