[meta] Freeze for openwrt-19.07?

[jefferyto]

19.07.0-rc1 was released today: https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2019-November/019957.html

Should we freeze the openwrt-19.07 branch now or have a schedule for when to do so?

I think it would be nice to inform package maintainers and give them a chance to update their packages in 19.07, but I have no idea how to contact everyone.

Hi @jefferyto
I'm personally not a fan of any hard freeze, but you can just spam everyone via email to get the bulk of the changes asap

@champtar I've spammed too many people here already 😂

I don't have a strong opinion on whether to freeze or not (I think in either case bug/security fixes should continue to be offered), but it may be easier to offer stable packages for users if we freeze and bugfix.

It's so far behind master at this point that most wont bother testing and backporting so it's probably not much of an issue. I personally still think it makes much more sense to have quarterly releases of packages rather than syncing it with OpenWrt's longwinded release schedule.

There doesn't appear to be interest in continuing to discuss this, closing.
