This is the first I have heard of a GUI freeze extending up to QGIS 1.0. I am STRONGLY opposed to this. I do not think the GUI is ready for release and was expecting the final release cycle leading up to 1.0 to be a time to improve the interface without worrying about new features.

Major announcements such as this should be made at the beginning of a cycle so that anyone with issues has some time to do something. Since there was no prior notice, I would like to see a GUI review during the time leading up to 0.11.0 with changes resulting from this review to be added during the first two weeks after 0.11.0.
