-With the situation in place today, we think (and decided) that it's time to temporarily pause accepting new features and focus on fixing and stabilizing Ingress NGINX. We understand that some people may need to merge a trivial new feature. Still, we are asking the community to understand that maintaining the project at this pace is becoming hard for the project maintainers. We understand that you waited too long with your PR in the queue, and we are sorry! But it's hard for us as well to keep the project stable.
