Then the feature freeze is only for absolutely essential parts of the 
core? If this is allowed there is no reason to deny other late features 
in the peripheral parts:
- extra reports
- new hooks
- useradmin
- etc.

In previous releases new hooks (even with pending patches!) have been 
denied after feature freeze.

It seems that it is true that people never learn from history. I don't 
think I need to remind anybody about various exceptions of the feature 
freeze concept and what problems arose.

A solution.

You already mentioned a hook / hooks in the new-new (when will we stop 
using new, modern, futuristic, etc.?) EM to support additional formats. 
Why not implement them first and try to get the new functionality in 
before feature freeze. If this can't be done the ReST rendering can be 
implemented as an extension using those hooks and include it in the core 
in 6.1.
