If we have a release schedule and we've reached a feature freeze, we should have branched into a release branch at that point. Trunk shouldn't ever be blocked with feature freezes, but instead making sure bugs get fixed in both trunk and release branches is a chore for us developers.
This is not how our development process has worked in the past. Which is why I put it forth as an idea to branch 0.49. We've previously opted to not actually branch for release until the release was ready as opposed to at freeze.
Perhaps we should put this proposed change in processes up to a vote (along with any other reasonable suggestions) a few days of waiting for feedback.
Do you have a launchpad bug search tag for these? Maybe I can help.
