-    For a short timeframe before a new major version is released, we are in a
-    feature freeze period, this means, your new feature PRs must target the next
-    minor version of the next major version. For example, if the current major
-    version is ``6.4``, you should target ``7.1``. If the ``7.1`` branch is not
-    created yet, target the most recent one, in this case ``7.0`` and rebase your
-    PR later, once the ``7.1`` branch is created.
+During the :ref:`stabilization phase <contributing-release-development>`, the development branch is in
+feature freeze. Please help the community prepare for the new version release. If you want to submit a
+new feature pull request, you should target the next version. For example, if ``6.3`` reached feature
+freeze, new features should target ``6.4``. If the ``6.4`` branch does not yet exists, target ``6.3``
+and rebase your pull requests once the branch is created.
