Most of my concerns were related to the mixed-addressing mode. As
mixed-addressing is removed r1637184 and several critical bugs were
fixed during two last months, I'm currently not aware about any
particular technical issues in the log addressing feature that can
justify a technical veto.
However, I'm still -0.5 to release this feature as a part of FSFS,
because FSX is a much better place for it. But this is not a veto.

Maybe I misunderstand you, but it's not clear from your email: does it
matter or not when a change was applied?
