Hi All It seems those who care have had their say, and those that don't haven't :-) So it looks like a majority of people opt for 3 - dedicate the hackfest to bug fixing and release after. As such I will suggest we lift the string freeze again but maintain the feature freeze in place. I will update the release checklist with new timings over teh weekend.
