I also don't see a 5 day freeze period as a big problem. With the way we're developing now, we're bound to keep having the same screw-ups we've been having. Why not be a little more disciplined? Just because we're an OpenSource project doesn't mean that we can't adhere to a schedule. Looking into possibly creating a QA team would definitely be a good idea. -Andrei * The future has arrived, it's just not evenly distributed. -W. Gibson *
