I've suggested freezes of varying degrees several
times, and
have been shot down each and every time.
"It discourages contributions" or something
like that

The only viable technical method of feature freeze is branching,
otherwise you'll have to come up with messages like "Okay, I
declare a feature freeze. Whomever commits a new feature to trunk
whill have their fingers smashed with a hammer." Not very practical.
Some developers don't read wikitech-l, some are weeks behind on
reading their mails.
