Maybe I misunderstood Jordan's original announcement, but this was also a surprise for me. Jordan originally stated that there'd be a feature freeze from 15th December 1999. I got the impression that this was going to be in effect for several months and would allow any code updates, but prevent the introduction of new features. This would then be followed by a _CODE_ freeze sometime in 2000Q1, leading to 4.0-RELEASE late in 2000Q1. (My understanding of the difference is that during the code freeze, only changes that demonstrably fix known bugs, without deleterious side effects, are allowed). A few weeks ago, I saw comments that it had slipped a month, followed a few days ago by Jordan's announcement of a code freeze.
