Some sort of freeze process?

[William Stockall]

Should people consider some sort of process for freezing packages which 
are to be released?  For example, all this discussion of whether to 
include yet another patch in the kernel.  What probably should happen is 
a package is frozen for release testing.  After that the only changes 
that go in are for problems introduced due to the proposed updates.  Any 
  further patches should go into the next release.


Thoughts?
