Hello Tiago,

Thanks for the clarification and link. May I ask why the freezing is
technically necessary for the transition? Is it due to potential future
merge conflict issues or something else? I was under the impression that
several other projects are using this HAL, and that the freezing might also
cause them some issues.

Best,
Matteo
