This message is a reminder that the mainline is now in regression-fix

That means that (aside from documentation) no new features or cleanups
should be committed, unless that's part of fixing a regression.
Will this rule remain until 4.0 is released?
No, but it will likely remain until 4.0 is branched. I'd consider
reopening for another round of general bug-fixing, if, and only if, we
get the regressions locked down quickly.
Does this apply to new ports as well?
No, you can still add a new port, so long as it doesn't touch anything else.
