Part of the extra concern for 0.8 is that it is going to be the official
release for dapper (Ubuntu 06.06). So we are trying to get a fairly
polished version written.

And when 0.8 is released, it will be supported for quite a while, and we
have to worry about backwards compatibility.

I do understand your point, though. And we do need to balance getting
things into the release versus actually getting the release. :)

What is Dapper's freeze schedule? I suppose we could follow that to
determine when we need feature freeze for bzr. (It may have already
gotten there).
