Focal Fossa (to be 20.04 LTS) Feature Freeze

As per the release schedule, Focal Fossa is now in Feature Freeze.

Ideally, you will all now be focusing on bug fixing and not on getting new
features into the release.  However, if necessary, please follow the process
for freeze exceptions:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess

As is the custom, packages that have been uploaded to eoan-proposed prior to
the feature freeze deadline, but have gotten stuck there, remain candidates
for fixing between now and release.

Remember that version strings don't matter for Feature Freeze.  If you
upload a new upstream release and it has no new features than you don't need
an exception.  If you add a debian/patch that adds a new feature, or enable
one via build flags then you do.  We care about the content of the archive,
not about precisely how things got there.

Happy bugfixing,
