I'm generally in favor of a feature freeze. My only hesitation is that we're just about done with Trident but once in a while we find that to fix problems in it, we have to make modifications to the LightRay or AbsorptionSpectrum analysis modules (or occasionally a frontend). I don't anticipate any more substantial modifications on this front, but if one pops up after Wed before 3.3 has been released, can we still push it through? It won't be anything major if it is. I just really want Trident to work well with a stable release of yt, so I'd love to have everything just *working* with 3.3.

Feature freeze starting next Wednesday sounds fine to me.

It might also help to have a slack sprint to fix issues sometime in the next couple weeks. That was pretty successful the last time we did it.

Hi folks,

Here are the outstanding issues for releasing 3.3:

https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues?status=new&status=open&version=3.3

I'd like to propose, and hold myself accountable to, a feature freeze
for 3.3. I think we should give a pass on *already* open pull
requests, but set up a freeze starting Wednesday for non-bugfix
changes until 3.3 is released, after which the gates can re-open. If
anyone has any strong objections, let's bump it, but I'd like to see
the release go out and not creep too far. (It's already got quite a
lot in it!)

I'm going to start picking out bugs today to get going. Thanks to
Nathan and Cameron for identifying these bugs for the 3.3 release,
which was a non-trivial task.

-Matt
