David,

It's been previously stated that the feature freeze (is/was) planned
for Jan 15 and would take effect when jkh made the announcement. If he
hasn't made the announcement committers (and submitters like Will) are to
assume that it hasn't taken place.

This is the normal for announcements for freezes for as long as I've been
a committer, or as long as I can remember, whichever is shorter.

That was the Feature Freeze (tm). Jordan hasn't made any "official"
announcements about the Feature Freeze yet, I don't think.

Anyway, the release should be out a few weeks after the Code Freeze
(tm), which should be around February 7th or 15th. Personally, I think
it'll be March before 4.0-RELEASE hits the door.

No.  Jan 15 was a feature freeze.  Likely first part of Feb for a
release, but no date has been widely circulated.

What do you mean?  JKH said there would be a Feature Freeze on Jan 15 and
it happened.  What more did JKH need to say on the topic?

 I lost some mail from early this week, but I didn't get anything from
 Jordan saying the FF was in effect. He said it would be in effect
 January 15th - not necessarily that it went into effect.
 
 Perhaps I'm just twisting words a little bit.

You really must not have been listening, Will.  Jordan did everything
*including* falling down laughing at about 3-4 different sets of folks who
misinterpreted feature freeze to mean code freeze.  I could understand,
somewhat, you making that mistake, but missing the fact of the feature
freeze itself?

I think it was David O'Brien, in fact, who posted it here in 2 inch high
letters!  No kidding.

You must have been hitting the delete key too fast, on several different
days.
