It sounds like we're about ready for going into the final Hard Freeze, so I'd like to propose we do so in 12 hours from now: 11pm PST 2/4.
During the Hard Freeze, no changes to CVS should be made without review and approval. Work should be limited to critical bug fixes, packaging, and release-related activity only.
I think it was effective to have a pair of reviewer/approvers to keep an eye on the codebase for the hard freeze period in the 0.40 release. Last time, mental and bulia performed this function. For this release, I'd like to ask bulia and kees to perform this function. I know mental has been extremely busy with work, so I suspect he'd like to conserve what Inkscape time he has for finishing up his own work. Kees has been extremely active in bug fixing this release, so I think he'd be an excellent person for this role. (Maybe we can make this a rotating position for future releases.)

Mental: Did you refix the crash-on-load bug properly? Or is it OK just to remove the assert as Kees did?

Not yet. Need to shuffle where the root node gets attached to the document (basically, the root element has to be attached to the document AFTER the code to rename non-namespaced elements).
Or is it OK just to remove the assert as Kees did?
In the short-term ... probably yes. As long as nobody tries to do an SPObject build before the non-namespaced elements get renamed.

So if you don't get the time to fix it up the way you want, can we hard-freeze at 11pm PST with just the assert commented out?

Cool. I think that'd be fun. :) As bulia mentioned, I'd also like to at least hear from mental "yeah removing that assert is okay for this release", and then I suspect we're ready to go. (Actually, I want to make one last change to the pref file location -- before 11pm!)
When do pre-releases start? I can get started on building the semi-static RPM, too.

Pre-releases should start ASAP. It sounds like for this release, Windows pre-releases are needed as well. It would be worthwhile to shoot for producing pre-releases once every day or two if possible, until you two give the final ok for the official release.

OK, and I just committed one last bugfix too, nothing more from me (except for the translation which will be ready tomorrow).

If you can do daily prereleases, starting today, including static rpms and windows packages, that would be fantastic.

I suspect Ted is still in the midst of moving, but he might also be able to assist with creating the pre-releases (for Linux at least).

For what it's worth, I'm actually doing okay now, workload-wise, though now that I'm free I have been devoting more time to art projects than coding lately.
I do think Kees would be a good choice to have on the review/approval group this time around.
