[yt-dev] Feature freeze for 3.3

[Cameron Hummels]

I'm generally in favor of a feature freeze.  My only hesitation is that
we're just about done with Trident but once in a while we find that to fix
problems in it, we have to make modifications to the LightRay or
AbsorptionSpectrum analysis modules (or occasionally a frontend).  I don't
anticipate any more substantial modifications on this front, but if one
pops up after Wed before 3.3 has been released, can we still push it
through?  It won't be anything major if it is.  I just really want Trident
to work well with a stable release of yt, so I'd love to have everything
just *working* with 3.3.
