I am ok with most of this statement. However, before locking, we might as
well review the whole thing and see what would be worth introducing into
1.5. But yes, freezing the features so we can move forward at a faster pace
is something I am more than comfortable with. This doesn’t mean the
development is stopped, it means we have a plan to release stable versions
more often. Who would complain? :-)
