Hi Tim,
thanks a lot for drawing the line - much needed. Things we planned to fix for 2.0
that still need love are, IMHO:

   * general interface cleanup
   * symbology migration to the new one
   * labelling migration to the new one
   * Sextante bugfixing, and especially setting up a full test suite for it

So I would solicitate funders and developers to concentrate on these issues, during
feature freeze.

I would add the same target (7 June) for the publication of the new website (we're
going to work on this in Valmiera, hopefully this is feasible).

Additionally, I would like to release with plugins in good shape:

   * add a bugtracker for all the plugins that miss it
   * update to the new API the plugins that are not working
   * migrate the plugin from the old to the new repo

I think that, given the rather long period of feature freeze, we should be tolerant
and lift it in very limited circumstances for non invasive, well tested [with unit
tests] improvements.

All the best.
