Re: September Release?
Doesn't it stand to reason that we COULD freeze today? A freeze doesn't mean
bugs don't get fixed, as we well know. The conversion of perl modules and such
would continue. Are there really that many "features" which arn't already in
potato(even if they are buggy)? Freeze to me means "feature freeze", as I'm
sure it means to most people. Sure it's still buggy, sure it's not ready for
release candidates, but can we freeze today? Sure.
