Following up on this point: 
Given the number of "just-this-one-more-thing-please" we've _already_ 
had since the b1 feature freeze, do you really except that 90 days of 
feature freeze is feasible? And if there's not going to be a feature 
freeze, there's hardly any point to people doing testing until there 
_is_ a feature freeze, is there? Oh, great, my code works with 2.5b1. 
Oops. 2.5b9 added a new feature that broke my code, but I didn't test 
with that.
