Not quite.
What I was asking for was for when the "freeze" occurs, just branch
immediately. The trunk stays open. The branch is frozen and is what
is stabilized for release.
Fixes that go on the branch typically also go on the trunk; new stuff
that goes on the trunk likely won't go on the branch. And so on.
And I was reminded by a mob with torches and pitchforks that this is
what we have done before. ;-)

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?
