Yes, this tends to be a problem towards the end of a cycle as people
rush to add features and don't take too much notice of freezes. I
personally think there isn't much of a solution to it with our current
release cycle structure.

In relation to Network Manager, I've had a couple of messages on irc
yesterday from the maintainer asking about whether changes to the
mobile broadband interface will affect documentation. I've asked him
to email the list and am copying him into this message for further
discussion.
