 I think that Michael has a good point here.  Why is it useful to
 declare a feature freeze?  In my opinion the answer is so people can
 begin making plans with respect to the upcoming new stable release.
 If just anything is allowed after a feature freeze why declare one?

 It depends how you specify feature freeze. Some specify it as a stop to
 add anything (nearly a code freeze) some one else specify it as a clean up
 and fix time until we enter code freeze.
 
 Me my self specify it as a clean up and fix time (that includes
 e.g cleaning the UI to be consistent).  

If no-one else will do it, I hearby offer to REVERT all features added to
Gimp. It's quite obvious that some/ most of the people here will continue
to rationalise additional features until well into the new millenium
(and I don't mean 2000).

Hopefully this won't be necessary.  Compromise is an important part of any
community.  I'm sure something can be worked out.
