Ok...so it seems like the release is going out on 20th.  The ports
freeze will be at 17:00PDT (10:00GMT) on Wednesday October 15th.
(The reason why it's 5PM is so that I can start building the packages
after I get back from work. :)

By the way, this doesn't mean you have the green light to go ahead and
break everything between now and Wednesday.  Please be extra-careful,
I would not want to have to fix five dozen ports during the final
package-building phase.  The recommended order of commands for testing
is:

===
make install (eyeball)
make package
pkg_delete (make sure everything is gone, including directories)
pkg_add (make sure everything is back)
pkg_delete     \
make reinstall  > to ensure there is no obsolete entries in PLIST
make package   /
===
