From 9e3edb250053f8827302683cb69b51c7b76509ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Nemec Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2018 15:21:35 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Update feature freeze policy The feature freeze policy has fallen somewhat out of date due to changes in the OpenStack release process and in Oslo itself. This updates the policy to better reflect the current state of releases.
