Readers of openssl-cvs of course know that the STATUS document itself
does not quite follow the freeze policy that it mandates:
- ______________ $Date: 1999/04/29 21:56:13 $
+ ______________ $Date: 1999/05/10 00:47:37 $
DEVELOPMENT STATE
o OpenSSL 0.9.3: Under development...
- Proposed freeze date: Mon May 8th, 1999
+ Proposed freeze date: Mon May 10th, 1999
Can't we advance that to Mon May 12th or Wed May 8th or the like :-)?

I've not quite finished cleaning up the cert_st handling -- while I
hope that the current code is significantly less broken than the one
that was in the library until yesterday, the session->sess_cert stuff
still is not too comprehensible, and thus I cannot claim to be sure
that there are no further bugs waiting to be discovered. The pending
changes should have no effect on the API and should not depend on any
particular system-dependent things, so they should be rather harmless,
and they may count as "bugfixes and cleanups", but it won't just be
cosmetic changes. Should we really leave the code as it as for now
(with my small comments of the form /* XXX ... */ that mark things to
be changed and which, in even briefer style, could be expressed as
/* Argh */) and delay those changes, or should we better expand the
testing period by another week so that the released code will be in a
nicer state?
