I think it would be best to let it continue to run, only not file bugs, so
that up-to-date output is always available if we need it.

Another question is whether we should have a different cutoff date for
merges.  I think it makes sense to stop MOM a few days (or even a week?)
earlier, and fix all of the open merge bugs, so that we're "caught up" when
UVF happens.  Otherwise, we'll inevitably be lagging behind on merged
packages, in some cases by a wide margin.

Jeff, what do you think?
