I'll leave the src release discussion for others, and just remark that this claim is entirely false: every release cycle has had a longer ports freeze than this one, with the same consequences. We don't take freezes lightly, and the alternative is to import a bunch of incompletely tested changes that will cause untold chaos for our users. I'm sure you wouldn't advocate that.
