And in fact, since we are in Freeze, we should not add new software to this distribution. Here's what I mean by "soft" and "hard" freezes: SOFT FREEZE: The distro is now closed to new software; we will not add new packages to the Software List. Developers can still release bug fixes and new "point releases" of their software, and these will be added to the distro. For example, if someone suggests we add "Acme Fortran Compiler for DOS" to the distro, they are out of luck. HARD FREEZE: The distribution remains closed to new software; we will not add new packages to the Software List. Developers can still release bug fixes, but only those that are deemed "critical" will be allowed into the distribution. New "point releases" of software will not be added to the distribution unless they also contain "critical" bug fixes over an existing version. For example, if we find the FOO 1.0 program has a horrible bug that accidentally reboots your computer, we'd take a FOO 1.1. But if BAZ 2.2 comes out (say, current version is 2.1) and fixes some minor bugs to make the output look nice, and maybe adds new features like colorful full-screen menus, we wouldn't take that one. -jh -- I'm sorry my president's an idiot.
