While I can agree on the "no new features" line, the date is a loose subject. Honestly, I could've probably called first ~70-80 patches: "a fix". Validation team managed to mark half scenarios a failure immediately. Then developers were set loose. With enough motivation, we have managed to crash even the most simple scenarios. I do not call a folder with bunch of code not following any specification, design patter, lacking verification and testing and confirmed to be harmful a "driver". And thus, "new features" gets entirely different meaning when applied to /skylake.
If there's things that fix bugs then they won't be covered by any wind down in new features so that's a separate thing whatever happens there.
