Jessie Release Progress and a stricter freeze policy

Stricter Freeze policy
======================
The freeze has been progressing for nearly 3 weeks now. We will soon
stop accepting certain changes for Jessie as documented in the
[FREEZE POLICY].
*Stricter freeze policy* from the 5th of December:
- The window for getting "important" bug fixes into Jessie is
closing on the 5th of December (point "ii.").
- Have your unblock requests approved before then!
For the avoidance of doubt, packages in this category must be
unblocked before 5th December. They can migrate in the days
following.
[FREEZE POLICY]: https://release.debian.org/jessie/freeze_policy.html
Release progress
================
There has been a rapid decline in open RC bugs in testing. We are now
at ~265 RC bugs and just 20 days ago there were 408 RC bugs. This is
quite an impressive rate.
We want to encourage everyone to keep fixing [RC BUGS].
The Release Notes still need quite a bit of work. There is a
[JESSIE NOTES DRAFT] that we encourage people to review already. It is
updated once a day from [RN SRC] and patches are welcome.
Change requests and patches should be submitted as bug reports against
the "release-notes" pseudo-package.
