Soft freeze is at the alpha, hard freeze is at the beta. Basically how 
we've done it for the past year or two, except that the soft freeze 
coincides with the alpha (which we generally don't have) rather than 
just being a few weeks before the hard freeze.

But then when is soft feature freeze and when is hard feature freeze?

On the issue of Feature Freeze we didn't get to unity.  Alpha is next 
week.  Beta is end of November.  Release candidate is January and final 
release end of February.  We discussed when a soft and hard feature 
freeze should be in those. We decided to make a list of features and 
review them individually although the details of this are a bit vauge to 
me so far.


My sense is we had general consensus that merge requests for new 
features which are already in flight and in an advanced state can be 
merged after the soft feature freeze, but before the hard feature 
freeze. But no new merge requests for Plasma 6.0 features can be opened 
after the soft freeze, unless they get an exception.


Does anyone disagree with this?



And while I'm here this discussion
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/issues/52#note_676743 

confirms version numbers remain the same and release frequency remains 
the same for now but should move to 6 monthly after we stabalise (as 
discussed with distros).


Right.

Isn't this going to cause distributions all sorts of pain as package
managers are going to assume 23.08 > 5.80 and refuse to update?
