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.

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.
