The ack was given before the freeze. But I'm also okay with reverting
them back out of 5.1 if you think that is more appropriate.
I didn't realize that, sorry.
I'm not really sure whether we have an established policy for this
kind of situation, but in my opinion the freeze applies regardless
of when the ACK was granted, since it's intended to be a period
during which the code that's going to end up in the next release is
tested and validated, which makes minimizing changes and limit them
to bugfixes only highly desiderable.
That said, the feature is small enough and was merged early enough
in the freeze period that I would not have advocated for reverting
it either way.
