You mean *after* the release.  Bigger changes are always reconsidered 
after lift-off of release N, to be included in release N + 1 or N + k for 
k >= 2.


The present situation is that we are awaiting Isabelle2016-RC1 within a 
few days.  Then we have several weeks of forked isabelle-dev versus 
isabelle-release repositories, with fewer changes on isabelle-dev than 
usual.  Then the merge, back to normal post-release mode (approx. mid 
Feb-2016).

BTW, the proper point in time for discussions about potential additions to 
the Isabelle2016 release plan was 14-Dec-2015 on the thread "Towards the 
Isabelle2016 release".
