You are of course referring to the code freeze that was just announced as a "retro-alert." Dinging him for asking about progress on an old PR and using the release code freeze as the reason, well that's silly. He didn't know the freeze was in place until it was announced. It was announced after the tree was frozen. See a catch-22 here? It sounds like you want people to send email bugging the lists/developers/core/etc. on a weekly basis about old PR's. Sounds like a recipe for irritation of all envolved. John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John T.
