I'm fine with adding an extra month, but not with changing the freeze 
dates again after all the freezes are in place. To me as a developer 
that would not help anything as the release is pretty much prepared and 
there is hardly anything I would want to do for 4.9 that late in the 
cycle. In fact it would throw my development one month back as master 
will be unfrozen a month later.

So instead of delaying all the freezes, let's just branch KDE/4.9 right 
now and open up master for feature commits (4.10). This gives the 
release team the time it needs and the developers what they really care 
about ;-)

Btw if there is anything we can do please let us know.
