| Actually we can have a "package freeze" since we can do the portage |
| 14 |
| snapshots with catalyst. This also allows you do decide what versions of |
| 15 |
| packages are part of a release without effecting the regular tree. |

I disagree - a snapshot is not a freeze in the same way that our old |
| 19 |
release policy called for. Although you can do what you are saying |
| 20 |
(versions, etc), the tree itself never freezes. Gentoo is a fluid |
| 21 |
distribution. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
| It might also be nice to have a master snapshot for building releases |
| 24 |
| with that incorporates any changes and updates needed, so that we are all |
| 25 |
| on the same page when building. |

I like this idea. I think that we would have to save it for .1 though. |
| 29 |
The collaboration between arch leads would have to be very well planned |
| 30 |
out, and unless we have very few problems with system packages (2 |
| 31 |
packages is minor), I would rather that we try this for the next release. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I am open for compromise though - if all of the arch leads agree, I will |
| 34 |
happily make a snap as soon as the new baselayout and openssl are commited. |
