+
+We are currently working on a feature freeze for the Clippy project. This
+period would be 12 weeks long, starting on the introduction of 1.89 to beta
+on the 26 of June, and ending on the 18th of September.
+
+This *summer of Clippy* comes from a lack of the necessary capacity needed
+to maintain all the current lints (about 750 of them 😱) and still add new ones.
+We need to care for the Clippy project the same way that Clippy cares about our
+code, and note that every single one of them needs maintaining and accounting
+for current and future changes in the compiler as a whole.
+
+As a team we’ll focus on making contributing the best it can be, we’ll try to
+bisect all the issues possible and mark the issues that could be great as a
+starting point to get familiar with the project.
+
+## What can I expect as a user?
+
+As a user you can expect to have more accurate lints, with less false negatives
+and more edge cases covered. A bump into Clippy’s toolchain would not involve
+the same risk for false positives as it has been until now. We hope that by
+upping the standard for lints all around the project we can allow users to
+expect even more from the already great linter.
+
+If you have a lint which you want to be implemented, you can still open and
+issue for it, but no one will implement it (also, lint-adding pull requests
+opened after the starting date will be blocked for the duration of the period)
+
+Note that pull requests opened before the starting date can still be reviewed
+and merged, but unless they are already in a very advanced state they will not
+be priorized over bugfixes.
+
+## Can I help?
+
+As always, any help on the project is very appreciated. Apart from opening bug
+reports, you can follow our [contributing guidelines] and check [our suggested
+good first issues] for opening pull requests . Everything from fixing diagnostic
+issues and improving documentation, to fixing application-wide crashes
+really helps Clippy get into the excellent state that our users deserve.
+
+If you need direct help when fixing a bug, don't hesitate to open a thread on
+Zulip, or to open the PR with the questions you have in order to start the
+feedback stream.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Thanks a lot for all these years of supporting Clippy, we hope that via this
+little feature hiatus we can achieve the excellence that the Rust user base
+deserves (if that's even possible).
