I think that the *biggest* and most complex thing that will be missing
will be the fine-grained SMP.  It seems that we'll have ELF support,
but I forget (or simply don't know) if we (they) decided that ELF will be
primary or not. 

I cannot imagine an official freeze will happen before at least a month
or two.  As I suggested though, the lower-level subsystems need to work
well very very soon.
