I think that deadlines are useful, too. But the form proposed by Joey
is the right way. An early freeze date doesn't mean an early release
date. E.g. if we need two month to prepare functional boot floppies,
we are only able to release in two month, regardless of a the freeze
deadline. So the right way is, as Joey proposed, to postpone the
freeze date until all major release critical issues are solved. This
would enable us to shorten the real freeze time and deliver up to date
software with our next release.
