I must misunderstand the nature of a feature freeze.  I thought the process was:

Announce that there will be a feature freeze
Code features
Enact feature freeze and create new branch
Fix bugs, no new features in the new branch

In this case, the enacting came three days after the announcement, and the only 
reason the branch wasn't created as soon was because of the SF->Savannah move.  
Are you saying that the process is actually:

Announce that there will be a feature freeze, enact feature freeze and create 
new branch
Add new features
Create RC, no new features in new branch

If that's the case, then sorry for bringing it up, but I really thought that 
when Milosch announced the feature freeze that meant it was time to concentrate 
on fixing bugs, and save new features for HEAD.
