With this commit, http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/217255, the RC2
phase is under way.

Normal upgrade, new ports, and changes that only affect other branches will
be allowed without prior approval but with the extra Feature safe: yes tag
in the commit message.  Any commit that is sweeping, i.e. touches a large
number of ports, infrastructural changes, commits to ports with unusually
high number of dependencies, and any other commit that requires the
rebuilding of many packages will not be allowed without prior explicit
approval from portmgr@ after that date.


Thomas
on behalf of portmgr@
