Notes:

[1] The GNOME 2 release team will be enforcing the various freeze
dates. If you have a change that breaks one of the freezes but that
you feel must go in, please contact us so we can review the change.

  We will be much more likely to accept changes that are planned
before the freeze date but don't quite make it, or changes that are
agreed upon by all affected parties.

  We all need to do our best to make these freeze dates to get the
release out on time.

[2] If you will be away around this date (or other package due dates),
you must get your packages in early or designate someone else to do
make a release.
