All,

We're almost at final freeze [1]. However Mir 0.1.8 requires one or two 
more fixes before it gets tagged. In the mean time, please try to avoid 
top-approving anything that's not a critical fix, until it's tagged.

We shouldn't ever be top-approving anything we're not happy to ship - so
why are you suggesting we do anything different now?

"critical fix" means critical bug fixes, and not enhancement/feature work.

But I just tagged. So no need to hold back anything now...

There are lots of different states that fall under “happy to ship” 
that change over the project life cycle; close to release it's 
perfectly reasonable to enforce a “no new features” policy. We 
don't, and can't, catch all possible problems in code review, and new 
features are inherently more risky than fixes.
