So this one can clearly be a win-win situation. > AIUI, GNOME only has a MicroRelease exception, not a standing FF/UIF exception. If Feature Freeze were targeted for Features, then there are about 2 months left in the cycle to clean up any bugs. Also, the time between Feature Freezes is about 6 months, so if their schedule were adjusted to focus on Feature Freeze instead of the release date, you'd still get about 6 months of feature work into the release (it also means you get 2 months of polish as well). Obviously, if something slips, there's still the exception process, but that should be the exception, not the rule.
