I think our review-system and the fact that we are freature frozen has worked
quite well to prevent the introduction of new bugs. I guess the amount of
commits is not going to increase dramatically while getting close to the 12th.
If it is going to increase then it should all be bugfixe commits which should
be reviewed.

(I'm not sure anymore if the number of commits seen on kde-cvs says much about
the actual changes that have gone into the release codebase)

IMHO one or two full weeks are too much and I think HEAD is in a quite good
shape right now.

Just my humble opinion.
