The current process says you *can* start now, but the Feature Submission
Deadline isn't until two weeks before Feature Freeze, which is in turn right
before the Alpha.

One *can* start developing features at any time, but there's nothing in the
process that says one *should* do it earlier, and in fact, the late
deadlines imply a defacto standard last-minute approach. This isn't helped
by the description of the Feature Submission Deadline as not being really a
deadline at all: "FESCo will consider features proposed after this deadline
on an exception basis."
