I think we should be mostly concentrating on bugfixing, especially if we want 
to make the October date.  However, I wouldn't be surprised if the freeze 
caught many app devs by surprise.  I had suggested in the previous thread 
that we have a "soft" freeze until beta2.  i.e., apps are frozen, but devs 
can appeal to the module release coordinator or the module mailing list for 
exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

In kstars, we've been developing a big architectural change in a branch for 
months that we are nearly ready to merge into trunk.  This is going to give a 
roughly factor of two improvement in speed, and we'd really like to have it 
for 4.0.0.

regards,
Jason
