+1 (I add what I said about bridges) I read recently that it does not make sense to cut a release *after* voting it. Actually, the process they do in httpd and a few other projects is more like a two phase commit: - vote a (fuzzy) calendar - feature freeze, alpha-N or rc-N releases - once one of the rc-N releases reveals as good enough, it is voted and becomes the version The advantages of this strategy is that the committers vote on a concrete tarball, with all its bugs and, in theory, no surprises. As only very minor fixes are allowed between rc-N and rc-N+1, it would be difficult to introduce heavy bugs in the "final" code. As Roy put it, it only makes sense to vote on concrete code, not on "intentions to do". So I'd say, start feature freeze whenever, and repeat a vote when one of the rc or snapshots seem to be ready to be released.
