We wouldn't have this problem. Isn't that the point of the feature freeze period? To put 'development' off to the side and spend the time reviewing what is pending? If ppl find it so inconviencing to not be able to submit patches becaus we're in a feature freeze, then won't that motivate them to do some review, get the patches cleared so that they *can* move on? Someone (you, I think) advocated a '3 weeks and then dump the rest of the patches' (not quote as strong of wording, but similar) ... why not split the patches list up: submitted patches, not reviewed reviewed patches, needs work, waiting on author reviewed patches, ready for commit. Once feature freeze started, the first list should only get small patches to it, easily reviewed and committed ... then, focus on reviewing list A and move the patch to list B or commit it ... once list A is cleared off, we go into Beta ... if a patch on list B gets re-submitted before Beta, it gets reviewed and either committed, or punt'd to the next release ... That leaves Freeze -> Beta being as long as it takes to get thorugh List A ... and the only thing punt'd to the next release being that which really isn't ready ... - ---- Marc G.
