I reviewed all existing package versions in the Inbox, and wrote a summary 
about them, but it's not complete yet. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it

I see your point about strictly freezing the features, but I think we 
shouldn't postpone the inclusion/rejection of existing Inbox contributions 
just because (we) core developers didn't have time to review/discuss them 
so far.

That's right, but I think we will have enough time till the new VMs are 
ready, so we shouldn't rush either.
