I've worn a lot of hats in the practical end of this industry, and regardless of which perspective I look at this from, I can't think of anything so destructive to productivity, developer morale, meeting deadlines or release quality as "slipping in just one more item after feature freeze". It's *always* something that someone feels is so important that it's worth the delay and/or risk, and it never works out well. There are a lot of aspects of the development and release processes on which I can see valid trade-offs and a lot of room for negotiations and compromise, but having a feature freeze which is treated seriously isn't one of them. If nobody else was making an issue of this, I still would be. There's absolutely nothing personal or political in this -- I just know what I've seen work and what I've seen cause problems. -Kevin
