Can I suggest that modules that don't feel ready to do a complete freeze
do something like what Ian, Maciej and I did with GnomeVFS which is to
check in a file entitled OUTSTANDING_API_ISSUES that details possible
changes that might occur before we do a full API freeze, and how
application developers can avoid getting bit by them?

This also provides a valuable road-map for hitting a hard freeze in the
next couple of weeks.
