It what world do you live, and can I move there? Every large open source
project I've particpated in or kept track of has had this problem - it's
_really hard_ to turn down cool new patches just because your supposed to
be in feature freeze, trying to get a stable release out.

What do _you_ think 'normal open source practice' is?
