These issues are currently being worked on. The freeze will only happen if there are pre-existing descriptions with newlines in them. That will be fixed. Also the precedence of matches will be revised to be much more like the original behaviour in 4.x. The other major issue was being able to ignore suggestions, which is also being looked at.
