From my outsider point of view the big difference is that the
probablility of $RANDOM_PATCH being reviewed during features freeze is
very much greater than at any other time. So the best way to get a
patch completed is to post it sometime before FF and after FF use the
subsequent feedback to improve it. If we can fix the disparity I think
most of the problems will go away...
Ofcourse, posting just prior FF doesn't help, but I think that's a
chicken/egg problem. People do what works.
Have a ncie day,
