But what I think he meant was to "unfreeze" in the sense that it was not "physically" possible to commit to src/ while he had the 'avail' lock set. This is opposed to the "policy" freeze where there is nothing physically stopping commits, but one is supposed to obtain re@ permission first. That said, I too have been unclear on whether RELENG_4 was still frozen since RELENG_4_5_BP and RELENG_4_5 were laid down. -- Crist J.
