Could you further remind us about what is (not) permitted to go in during
this time? I also understand all commits need a release ack from now on?
(I'm sorry, we're doing releases only every once in a while, so it is
always good for things to be re-spelled out, i.e. even if they haven't
changed from earlier releases.) This, for example, would then likely mean
that all Misra work now needs queuing for after the tree re-opens ...

Thanks, Jan
