Hard Feature Freeze starts now for edk2-stable202011

Hi, all

Today, we enter into Hard Feature Freeze phase until edk2-stable202011 tag
is created at 2020-11-27. In this phase, there is no feature to be pushed.
The critical bug fix is still allowed. So far, I know two security patches
need to catch this stable tag. They both passed code review before HFF. If
no objection, Laszlo will merge them for this stable tag.



https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/67708 Security fix: possible heap
corruption with LzmaUefiDecompressGetInfo

https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/67706 MdeModulePkg/Core/Dxe: limit
FwVol encapsulation section recursion



If the patch is sent after Hard Feature Freeze, and plans to catch this
stable tag, please add edk2-stable202011 key words in the patch title and
BZ, and also cc to Tianocore Stewards, then Stewards can give the comments.



Below is edk2-stable202011 tag planning.
