That is 1 week _before_ feature freeze, though I’ve started shortening that a bit, since we nowadays have the “Move change” feature which makes that period less necessary.

At the end of today / tomorrow morning I’ll do a final merge master -> 4.13, and after that feature freeze will be in effect. Merges from 4.13 -> master will still happen until 4.13 is completely closed for content.

Everything in 4.13 will (after some time) end up in master.
