I know it's trivial and most likely will not affect the release at all but my understanding of freeze is that we try to stabilize the build by fixing bugs or any issues that would prevent us to deliver the final release. To me that sounds like reasonable definition that we should try to follow and in my mind creates a clear decision process if something should/can be pushed during freeze. Based on that definition I would say that these patches does not qualify and can easily wait once the release is done.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 :)
The wording I remember was that during freeze we can push patches that fix bugs, alter documentation, or have been already posted (with an extra caution). There was no CI back then. Maybe we need to adjust that for the future somehow, but given the fact that this was not written down anywhere I do not know how to do that officially.
