You don't have a vote in this matter, this is the decision of the release
engineer, who has appointed that power to me.  Just as you had veto power
when you where release engineer.

Sorry folks, I posted the FREEZE doc, and now code change rate has jumped
instead of slowed to a very small crawl.  If this continues to happen
Jordan and I had already discussed what would happen, and your not
going to like it one bit.  We will cvs co a tree and only pull bits in
that we feel are absolutely critical, if necessary we will branch the
tree.

As you told me the other day quit driving from the back seat, well,
might I ask the same.  Jordan has asked that I be the source code
Czar over the tree right now, so your driving from my back seat.  No
matter how cool something may seem, right before release is *NOT*
the time to implement it.
