I've advocated a partial freeze before, but
I've been convinced over
time that they're generally unhelpful. If a committer has good code
to put in, trunk should always be allowing it.
As a followup, I'd like to qualify this statement with "use common

restructuring vast swaths of code, stylizing every last line, or
merging branches. It just makes merge conflicts more likely and
increases release/deployment overhead.
