Different people seem to have different understanding of what does and does not qualify for merging during the freeze: in the past, I've argued for the same interpretation that you're offering right now, only to receive significant pushback ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That said, I agree with both you and Erik that there is basically no reason for this *not* to wait until 7.2.0 is out, so I'll just play it safe and do just that :) -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
