[HEADS UP] Freeze for 2020Q2 and new rules for 2020Q3

[Thomas Klausner <wiz%NetBSD.org@localhost>]

Hi!

I'll start the freeze for pkgsrc-2020Q2 on Monday, June 22 (before
noon UTC depending on my availability), going for one to two weeks.

The usual freeze rules apply -- no infrastructure changes or updates
of packages that are used by other packages without prior
approval by pkgsrc-pmc.

Leaf updates are fine (especially security updates), but please also
direct your energy into fixing broken packages -- see e.g.

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bulk/2020/06/17/msg019110.html

or

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bulk/2020/06/17/msg019111.html

(both x86_64) or

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bulk/2020/06/17/msg019106.html

(aarch64) for some targets.

I'd also like to point out that in the interest of stability of
branches, starting after 2020Q2, the following rules will be in
effect:

In particular, this restricts updates of packages that have caused
major breakage in the past to the first half of the quarter.

Thanks,
 Thomas
