I think I'm going to change the procedure this time by announcing the
freeze before it happens. :)

Anyway, the 2.2 release is scheduled to be "no later than 12/10"
(that's December 10th for you Europeaners), so I'm going to freeze the
ports tree at the end of this month.  (That means, anything after
11/30 has to be approved by me before it's committed to the ports
tree.)

However, I'm going to start building packages-2.2 tomorrow so I'd
appreciate it if you hurry up and commit something real soon if it's
an upgrade (so I don't have to build it twice, it's sort of painful
when the tarball names change).

Also, there are some five spazillion open PR's for new port
submissions, I would apprecaiate it if the experts of the ports team
can help me out here.  I think we can commit them all before the
freeze if all of us (i.e., intersection of "ports team" and
"committers") make it a point to import two ports per day.  (Hey, I
did three today.)

Thanks, and let's go porters!
