Soft Code Freeze (SCF) is a time-based milestone in the Fuel release cycle that marks the point after which only High and Critical bug fixes are allowed in the release branch.
Once SCF is announced:
- stable branch is created for the release
- only fixes for High and Critical bugs are allowed in the stable branch
- commits to the stable branch must follow the backporting process: only propose a stable backport after the fix was merged in the master branch
- master branch is open for feature development for the next release and for Medium and lower priority bug fixes
Rationale: restricting stable branch to High and Critical bugfixes encourages the team to focus on a smaller number of bugs, and reduces the number of regressions introduced by commits merged into the stable branch.
