 dish [Fox/It/She] | in #452544 we added an option but it was decided it would be best to do a revert before release since the maintainers have an idea for a better interface. Since this is a new option that was added and it's not in a release yet, would this be okay to revert, given that breaking changes are not allowed at this point in time? | 20:28:48 |

| dish [Fox/It/She] | I believe it would be fine since it's not in a release yet, but just wanted to get a double-check | 20:29:29 |
 leona | i'd say that you can still remove it, as it's a edge package and the option only existed for such a limited time | 20:30:18 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | gotcha, will let folks know. Thank you! | 20:30:46 |
| leona | like IMO the freeze period has two goals
- restricting large impact/risk changes so that we have a good and high quality release
- Make it easier for people to prepare their downstream work to to make the switch to the next release easier
both isn't really applicable for this change, so this is fine for me
| 20:33:38 |
| leona | so if the option would've been introduced like 3 months back, I would be a bit more hesitant | 20:34:19 |

| dish [Fox/It/She] | yeah that makes sense, just wanted to get a quick check since I felt my logic was sound but didn't want to violate policies | 21:27:30 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | thank you ❤️ | 21:27:34 |

 mdaniels5757 | Any chance https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/452792 can be merged despite the breaking changes freeze? The dragonflydb package (which is a leaf) is currently three years out of date. | 11:46:03 |

| eveeifyeve | Hey what could I help to work on the release 25.11 in terms of code? | 19:19:47 |
| leona | soon we'll publish the ZHF announcement and that's the primary thing. If you notice broken packages, modules, etc. fix that | 19:24:48 |
| leona | otherwise there's probably not that much to do | 19:25:01 |
