The missing pieces of bitrot detection and tiering are in now. So we are 
good to declare feature freeze now. Kudos to all of us in reaching here :).

Branching for 3.7 will happen after we merge coverity fixes, logging 
improvements and critical bug fixes.

Maintainers - can you please provide an ACK for sanity of the quality of 
your component(s) in 3.7? Basically we should aim to avoid functional 
regressions and critical issues before we branch.

Once we have both of these in place, I will branch release-3.7.

Thanks,
