Hi all,

here's my first proposal for an official feature freeze of trunk as a 
preparation for the next release:

<quote>
When preparing source releases, the core developers set a Feature Freeze on 
the core parts of trunk, which means that 
* only bug and security fixes are applied until trunk is found stable and 
well-tested enough for a new release. 
* Package updates can be applied if they contain bug fixes only, or security 
fixes - adding features should be avoided, to prevent introducing new bugs 
(in other places). 
Source releases are named by their respective revision numbers. Official 
binary releases are based on source releases and created by core developers.

I've also added this text to http://www.rocklinux.org/wiki/Mission_Statement . 
Comments welcome!

With best regards,
