Forum OpenACS Improvement Proposals (TIPs): Re: Tip #50: (Proposed) Freeze HEAD between feature complete date and beginning of alpha testing

I interpret status quo as: branch core upon reaching the feature freeze date; the branch is immediately feature-frozen.
I think defering creating the branch until someone wants to commit something which should not be in the release is the status quo as it is how it has been handled to date and was I think the consensus when we discussed it last week.

In any case, I am willing to try anything once so I would certainly approve of trying this methodology.
