IMHO, any feature freeze is only meaningful if it is accompanied by a branch.
Otherwise new features will have no place to go and will quite likely get
bundled in with bug-fixes.
Also, from the mailing list archives, I see that a year elapsed between the
first pretest and the release of Emacs 21.1. So I would like to see a target
date for the release so that the "freeze" doesn't drag on indefinitely.
Well, one can only hope.
