Yep, I don't need to stand in the way, +1 to that. And I've never favored code freezes either. It didn't affect me b/c I don't really have my hands in the Lucy code other than to help release it when I'm needed, but in general I'm not in favor of it. > > I'm yelling at Chris today, but tomorrow I may be yelling at Marvin > for being too much of a coordination hub for this project. +1 to that -- Marvin and I have had that discussion before and I think he is open to seeing others step up.

Agreed! I'm best used to do release management since I do most of that on my other projects, besides periodic patches and development. If I do it enough on Lucy, I'm definitely +1 for having a say in the direction of how releases get pushed through and I hope everyone is open to that.
