The sad fact of many releases is that many people seem to not start looking at overall polish and bugfixing until the final freeze is hit. They treat the final freeze as the last development day and expect to have time after that to do bugfixing. Combining that with taking users away from the QA on those frozen bits could lead to an even worse release. So I think there are two problems to solve there. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
