That's what I don't know how to tell -- where do I look to see what's
"in sight"?

In my previous mail, I listed the places I looked.  But in the past,
when there *has* been a feature freeze, I'm pretty sure those places
also did not say anything special.

Oh, I wasn't saying that's too complicated.  What I was saying is that I
didn't know how to *find* those rules (and therefore, before this
moment, didn't know them).  

Now that you've stated them explicitly, I can refer to your mail.  I'd
been looking for them in places more permanent than the mail archive and
not finding them, that's all.

And for those of us who have only a little room left in our heads, we
can just remember "push only to trunk, always" if nothing else :-).

Thanks for laying it out clearly.
