The ports tree is now locked. What that means is that you should be very careful with the changes you propose and everything should be approved by me. However, you must discuss it with the usual suspects and other developers as well.
Accept that we will ship with some bugs, but focus on fixing the simple problems and what can be fixed reasonably. Only look at important issues and do not think "I'll throw this update in, it looks good and I'm sure it won't hurt anything" because now is the wrong time to do this. Focus on testing the package snapshots! The main reason we do this whole locking process is because the ports tree is so large and it takes a long time to build. Noticing problems can take a while and we need time to address them, so help out!
