While we are in pre-release freeze, I'd refrain from picking up a brand new code with nontrivial complexity that is under discusion on the list (because I know I cannot spare enough bandwidth to keep up with the discussion and picking up an early iteration, and risking to merge it down without refreshing it with a newer iteration by mistake, is not a good tradeoff), while I am busy dealing with prerelease issues. I do use the spare time to follow discussions on topics that are already in tree and possibly replace them with their newer rounds, and also new code that are of less importance and easier to reason about.
