Hi Everyone,

After I get the pager search fix committed, I think it's about time to 
get going on a 2.4.0 release.

After announcing a freeze, I usually give a couple weeks for the 
translators to update their po files.  In the past it's always just been 
me, so I would simply refrain from committing anything except major bug 
fixes, typos, etc, during the freeze period.  (I'd mostly work on the 
release notes in my spare time)

However, there are more people now.  So instead, as needed I'll make 
commits to the future/2.5.0 branch until after 2.4.0 is released.  Then 
after the release, I'll rebase and merge future/2.5.0 into master, and 
we'll continue in master.

How about if we plan a freeze last next week, on 5/29.  Give the 
translators until 6/12, and I'll release the weekend of 6/12-6/14.  Does 
that sound good?
