Not sure that is a good idea. Blocking all new features from entering
a LTS release would result in a backlog of features to add to the LTS
+1 release. This in turn could possibly reduce the amount of polish
that can be applied before release of the LTS +1. The end result would
be a stable, but outdated LTS and a modern, but slightly less stable
LTS +1.

I agree that for a LTS release the emphasis should be on bugfixing and
polish, but new features and programs are a vital part of what keeps
Ubuntu 'Modern'. Instead of feature freezing all LTS releases, how
about simply prioritising feature acceptance? That way minor features
and new programs can still make their way in, but major features will
be delayed till LTS +1.
