Just out of curiosity, why don't we have a separate branch for pushing new features during feature freeze? Branches in git are for free...
To me, it's not really a technical matter of dealing with branches. git makes branches very easy as you point out.
I just like to keep track of what's going on so I prefer using just a single branch for development, plus I want us to focus on bug fixes this period so discouraging working on new features for a while is part of that.
The autobuilds also build from the master branch and it (the autobuild system) works better if it gets to deal with a limited number of new things at a time (rather than seeing 4 weeks of new features merged one day).
Of course, if we were more active people and wanted speedier development I figure use of more branches would be a natural choice.
