For a really solid release with some time to fix things that need 
fixing.... everything really needs to be completed and packaged by the 
end of this week.

The final development freeze is tomorrow and the preview release gets 
spun up next week for release on 2009-04-28.  If you get everything into 
the Preview Release you have the best shot at getting more feedback and 
time to fix it before the final release.
