Next release, I think we need to be more stringent about getting the must-fix list identified earlier on in the release cycle, so that there is more time to work on them. The only reason I felt comfortable setting dates was because I had asked for must fix bugs, and none were identified (in fact, iirc you had said you were comfortable going ahead with the release)...
I said I was OK with feature freeze, i.e. I agreed to stop working on features and start looking into bugs.
Right, but my point is still valid - I think we must identify the must-fix bugs much earlier on in the process, preferrably before any freeze consideration. It is silly to wait until the last moment to start working on these sorts of bugs. If I'm made aware of these earlier on, I can plan accordingly. As it is, now we either have to triage those down, or postpone the release.
I will have a shot at triaging the list tonight or tomorrow.
Meanwhile, please review whether the layer movement features are critical. Mental has stated he cannot finish it by the 1st, and no one has volunteered to help, so there appears to be a problem here. If you can find a volunteer, it may still be possible, otherwise we must either drop the feature or postpone the release.
