Yes.

Really?  There hasn't even been a pretest announced and distributed,
has there?  Where is the announcement asking people to test the
pretest distribution?

What about the pretest testing period?  Has that been reduced to
at most a few weeks now?

There are thousands of bugs reported now, including many newly
introduced.  Do we really intend to ship a release only a month
or two after closing the addition of new features?

Not adding any more new features is one thing.  Actually testing
those new features, and regression-testing old features, and
fixing known bugs are something else again.
