Er, yes your assumption is 100% correct.  I unfortunately cannot be more
ambitious right now as my advisor recently realized that I am supposed
to graduate in may and I haven't finished my thesis yet.  Luckily she's
only forcing me to write many a research paper in a couple weeks time
instead of selling me off into Graduate Student Slave Trade(tm).

Also, just to clarify a point I didn't make clear.   The UI-Review time
isn't really over, as per the schedule we are in a String/UI Freeze
therefore we can't be on the offensive anymore.  We are still responding
to major/blocking UI-Review bugs and trying to flush out those remaining
issues while under the watchful eye of the release team.

Cheers,
