We've always had a rather lax idea of "freeze", especially during the
1.3/1.4 series, and I think this added a positive contribution to the
huge development we saw then. I feel that our post 2.0 freeze, whilst
necessary to a great degree, restricted a lot of developers and their
coding habits (although git has alieved lots of these). For this
reason I think we should drop from freeze threat level red to freeze
threat level yellow - allow new features and strings, provided they
are small enough and don't include large risky changes.
