Well yeah, but we were frozen for quite a while before we got all the bugs out and new beta's were repeated copies off the corrected trunk.

What Jeff asked (or what i thought he was suggesting), is that we limit the freeze time on the trunk and make a branch to fix up for the release. Thus, bugfixes and patches and what not will have to go into (possibly) both places. And new beta's will not be trunk copies at some point, they'll be copies of the branch, i would guess.

I'd be ameniable to this. I think it'll work if we are smart about
when we
do the branch.

Might I resurrect a suggestion from Benoit from a long time ago?

When the code is frozen, how about branching?  That is, branch the
trunk
to a
4.2 branch, where all stabilization can occur -- effect the freeze
by
creating a branch.

I don't mean to be denser than normal, but isn't this what we did with
4.0, 4.1, et al?
