[Sugar-devel] Feature Freeze

[James Cameron]

I like that idea.  The effort in merging later is much less than the
effort in negotiating with the contributors through patches alone, and
there's less risk of contributions being lost.

For contributors that withdraw before merge, it also leaves things in
a state where another contributor can take over the responsibility to
merge, or the release engineer can do so if they like something.
