Re: [Evolution-hackers] CVS Head Open for commits again

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Every other time, once we hit *feature freeze* (i.e. 2 months ago), we
went into patch review mode.  Where *every* patch needed to have at
least one other reviewer look at the patch, on the patch list.

No new features were added at all, and we were just fixing bugs.
Without this we coulnd't get all the bugs ironed out and it generally
lead to a pretty shoddy 'dot-o' release.

UI freeze (a few days ago) wasn't the cut off point for 'the last ui
centric feature' it was the last point where any ui changes could be
made, like spacing or minor fiddly stuff like that.

Hard code freeze is somewhat different.  In that we can't put *any* code
in without a review from the *gnome* release team.  And is really only
used for very small patches fixing critical problems.

But this time, I have no idea what is happening ...
