Yes, I know that after announced freeze was commits with big changes and 
renaming. However, it was us who wanted to push it as part R14.0.0. We 
thought that at the time was right. Just as we now consider it right to 
refrain from any such major changes. And because at this time we are all 
working to finalize R14.0.0, it should be no one who would carry out 
aggressive hacking.

I think it would be sufficient if we will soon announce the renewal of the 
state of soft-freeze. 28. February seems good date.

Note: For final R14.0.0 we should solve NetworkManager8 support, which 
could represent a piece of code that should be pushed, even if the 
soft-freeze.
