In principle, "feature freeze" means that any large code changes = will no longer go into 0.12, unless fixing critical bugs.

I'm not keen on postponing 0.12 for such reasons - after the HK worksho= p I'm sure that it will take some development/testing/review before cod= e makes it into anything. Apart from that there's a good point to decou= ple consensus changes from Bitcoin Core major releases.

We've seen lot of release date drift due to "this and this change = needs to make it in" in the past, that was a major reason to switch to= a time-based instead of feature-based release schedule.

We can always do a 0.12.1.
