In order not to do again the mistakes made with the zen update and 10.1, I think we should have _two_ feature freeze dates...
One for the _new things_ (patterns, Xorg 7...) and one for the _new releases_ of already used things (Kde, Gnome)
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.
I think the latter are already tested by they developpers when the first seems already in a very early stage.
My plan is more to integrate risky stuff as early as possible, e.g. patterns now and X11R7 now ;-)
I'm disquieted by the "most annoying bugs" list and the _may be_ delayed Alpha 3.
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 ;-)
I personnally think that a stable distribution is better than the very most up to date one.
an other solution should be to use a debian like calendar (I speak of the three distros, stable, unstable and testing, not of the delay between releases :-)
