Kevin, +1 ... Such big change in day of feature freeze! Maybe we need "layered" freezes - like do not touch essential components few weeks before freeze and thus let packagers to do their work while there are finishing it - and they need something stable under not to fix new issues... Don't let this as I'm flaming against new features please!
