juju-core feature uploads during feature freeze

[Robie Basak]

Dear Ubuntu Release Team,

juju-core has an exception for major release updates, including new
features, in stable releases[1].

It seems to me that this implies that it's fine for me to also upload
new upstream feature releases to the development release during feature
freeze, as would make little sense to wait until after release to do it
instead.

So I'm going to go ahead and upload new features to juju-core as needed,
without seeking specific individual exceptions, unless someone objects.
We do perform the same level of testing in our process as we apply to
SRUs anyway. For example 1.24.5 is awaiting sponsorship as soon as I get
to it [2]. I just thought I'd point it out so that others know what's
going on and can object if necessary.
