My $.02:
Saying this as a bleeding edge user, and not a programmer, I don't see this
product close to an ISO beta yet. I tried four different installation
methods last night (ISO, FTP w/ my mirror, FTP from an official mirror, and
HD). None of them worked and my mirror was synched. A large part of that,
I think, was due to a kernel update, and I see another around the corner.
Add to a kernel which is keeps changing rev numbers, and the installation
issues, the fact that Drakconf sounds like it's in alpha testing, I don't
see a code freeze happening real soon.
However, having said all that, maybe installation methods should get on a to
do list? I don't see it discussed very much so let me throw out what I saw
last night:
ISO installation is not finding hdlist1.cz in /Mandrake/base. Isn't even
looking in Mandrake/base for some reason.
FTP installation (both with a local mirror and an official mirror) is
looking for wrong version numbers including but not limited to
Kernel-2.4.1-?mdk.
HD installation bombs when trying to install ldconfig.
I don't code (but I do do Windows;) ) but this can't all be me.

Subject: [Cooker] Cooker, Next LM Release, When?
I've been watching the daily message traffic for weeks now, and I'd like
to express an opinion.
Opinion: It's about time to freeze and make a new release. Kernel 2.4.1
is out, and KDE 2.1 is in Beta. I think it's time gear up for a release,
to be timed on KDE 2.1 final.
