There are so many major things that need fixing for 23.1, that I think it's counterproductive to put a freeze on minor features now, like the one Eli is suggesting. A total freeze only seems appropriate when bugs are being actively fixed, and I don't see that now. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
