GStreamer doesn't follow the GNOME development cycle [1], so you don't
have to follow the GNOME freezes, etc. However, we love that you're
trying to follow them :-) That makes things easier.

Also, the API freeze is only recommended for modules in the desktop
suite [2]. So even if GStreamer modules were following the GNOME
development cycle, it'd be okay to add new API.

But I'll say it again: it's great to see you looking at the GNOME
freezes, and trying to respect them :-)
