We all duck and freeze - the old wait until it is over tactic!

This seem to be inescapable - even if we duck...

Yes, API freeze would be mid-January.

I myself, do not draw too much on version numbers. If you look at the 
consequences in support then what we shipped with 0.82 was 1.0. 
Personally, I think we could even get away with naming it 0.94 and 
announce that we switched to GTK+ 3.
