whatever time you put for freezing/stabilizing, there'll always be bugs because there're just too much things involved in the distros. what's more, if that time last too much, people keep going on: why not included XYZ-3.3 which was just released and has so much nice bugfixes and new features which result in either people tired of debugging the same stuff or stabilizing work trashed because of an update. and anyway, too much people actually only test latest rcs and complain too late (when final is out) because they do not want to test earliers betas or rcs ("they should be too buggy; let other people look for bugs")
