I think we did; we have fallen into that pit before. It's very easy
to get seduced by "one more thing"; especially after a previous long
cycle where things have piled up.

However, code freeze after two months is completely unrealistic
IMNSHO. The big thing, and I know a lot of people have asked for
this, is to call a code freeze and sticking to it.
