According to the rules :
We don't move from Feature Freeze to Code Freeze until, and I
quote "the testing coordinator indicates that all blocker bugs
in the release branch have been fixed"
I interpret this as, we move to Code Freeze, when and only
when all blockers have been fixed.
That's my interpretation too.
We then dictate that "During code freeze, the
only allowed
commits are bugfixes to release-blocking bugs"
If all blockers must be fixed before we move to Code Freeze,
and we can only commit bug fixes to free up blockers during
Feature Freeze, what is the actual point in having a Code
Freeze as we will never have any blockers to fix.
It's possible that the testing done during code freeze reveals new blockers.
