-1. If you want to freeze the tree, tag it and then do your work on
the branch created by that tag. It is completely ridiculous to ask people
to freeze a tree when it doesn't even compile on half a dozen platforms.
Tag it when it is in sufficient shape for a release (or tag it now and
move the tags back manually to the last version of a file that doesn't
suffer from breakage). In any case, if it isn't ready for a release now
then the last thing you want to do is stop people from working on the tree.
