I'm not the release dude, but I read the following:
- temporarly frozen for Beta1 & 2, this means that we just freeze for a week 
to stabilize the whole thingy a bit, release the Beta and "open" CVS again. 
This is just to avoid brain-dead crash bugs in the betas (in my understanding 
of this schedule).
- feature freeze for Beta3 (early June)
- final release around the end of August (maybe early September, who knows)

So we have 3 months of a freeze period. Given that this is basicly the release 
plan of KOffice 1.1 (a bit shifted ;) and that the current test in the c't 
magazine (KOffice 1.1.1!) notes that KOffice is unstable I think it's not too 
bad to have a long freeze period.

Of course just freezing doesn't help, but I think it's neccessary to have 
longer freezes than the KDE core packages as we have less developers and less 
users/testers.

Ciao,
Werner
