Aside from when we branch for the next release, I think we can still impose trunk freezes when we feel we need them (either by convention or technology). This will prevent folks from *landing* new features on the trunk, but it will not prevent folks from *developing* new features, and even publishing, reviewing and sharing them. That's a big advantage over a centralized vcs like Subversion. -Barry
