Yes, it is free donated labor, > but it doesn't mean that it's worth $0! Hmm, I think I misunderstood your original comment, let me retry: With the same amount of resources (the same number of DDs), but less time of course you have to cut somewhere. One possibility would be reducing the amount of new features, as in not package the absolutely latest version of softwares, but focus on versions that are already known to be stable. It seems though that the lenny -> squeeze migration will not be the easiest as there are several major changes that you just can't avoid (ex. KDE3 -> KDE4) and probably this is why the freeze date has been postponed. What I'm trying to say is that, yes it seems like the Release Team is pushing a bit to *freeze* as soon as possible, but I do trust them to not release squeeze until ready.
