Given that the security infrastructure has now been implemented, I fail to see the comparison here. It is always possible that unforeseen problems will delay the release -- but unforeseen problems from one release are by no means a predictor for future releases. > Also, reading the mail announcing a freeze on august 2 today is not exactly > helpfull, is it ?
