<div dir="ltr">Hi Michael: I'm familiar with the types of freezes (UI, Feature, & Milestone).  I've had plenty of experience having to deal with FFe for features.  The last two releases I've been delegated to control what types of things pass through the Mythbuntu project for FFe's rather than motu-release.  By the virtue of the type of work that I've been doing, I've not had to deal with UI freeze at all.  I understand it's main purpose is to give documentation teams enough time to do screenshots and write documentation for the different packages. I've not worked on any bugs that were directly milestoned for release, so whenever milestone freeze was active, I've just deferred uploads until it was complete. Whenever doing an upload, I've been referring back to the Intrepid release schedule [1] to make sure that I'm not off by a few days getting close to another freeze.  I've also made sure to double check that I hit all the bullet points on the process lists [2] when doing FFe's.
