We had basically so far:
* A toolchain freeze some weeks before beta1: Minor updates that do
not break stuff are allowed but no more major updates for gcc,
binutils, etc.
* The big freeze with beta1 for everything.

My plan is more to integrate risky stuff as early as possible,
e.g. patterns now and X11R7 now ;-)

We'll release tomorrow. I really want to give you a distribution that
you can install without hand-editing the grub files and where you
cannot make any changes to the patterns ;-)
