I would also like to point out here to anybody reading -- We have a parent ticket going where we have subtasks for all phab tickets which relates to breaks in the legacy code base, as these MUST be fixed for release. Here is a link to the ticket: https://phab.enlightenment.org/T6926 If any of you

I'm opposed to having a blanket policy that there can be no new features at all added during a freeze. As an example, https://phab.enlightenment.org/D6247 is a feature which is required in order to improve test reliability--something which should be at the top of the list when working on a release
