YES! Yes yes yes! I try to plan my time, and the feature freeze data is very important in that planning. Also, regardless of the issues Tom raised, 18 months is too long a release cycle, IMNSHO. If you do that and you take the time from feature freeze of release n to release date of release n+1, a developer could wait 2 years from the date of submission to see his/her feature in a release. 2 years is an eternity in this game. Just my $0.02 worth. cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
