For server roles code, there's FESCo exception and deadline was moved
to Alpha freeze, instead of Changes Freeze. But if there still no code
written, it's a bit worrying as Server WG considers it as blocker...

There are a few options we have. a) FESCo on the last meeting agreed to 
skip Flock in case it would be needed and the first attempt to release
fails, so we could gain some spare time here. b) Other would be just go
with product without Roles framework or c) I know Server WG was pretty
much against it - skip Server product for F21 release. If a) would not
still be sufficient.
