Feature freeze means there are _no_ new features until the thaw; Kai
suggested a finer control (allow some new features, but not others).
I also have a clear impression that reverting changes is something we
do only as the last resort (and for a number of good reasons; I don't
suggest doing that more often!). I don't remember a single change that
was reverted because we thought it would destabilize the code, I think
the few cases of chnage revrsal were all due to known bugs they caused,
not because we were afraid of unknown bugs.
