How about I make it a little more clear. The length of the release
cycle is not a point of time, nor is it my opinion that we need "the
latest and greatest". It is my opinion that the release cycle does not
need to be slowed down by complex dependency problems that can be
avoided. The freeze is complicated enough, dealing with all the bugs,
without having to figure out which libgtk we are going to use and
getting all the packages recompiled for it.
