No, not at all. We can make changes all the way up until final release.
Feature Freeze means no added functionality to Ubuntu as a whole. So,
applications should not add new functionality, but you may still be
working on the UI for them. And, that's why UI freeze happens somewhat
later. Things like desktop look is a part of that too. And we are not at
UI freeze yet.
I simply wanted to upload latest changes so that people get the chance
to try it out for the Beta 1 release, since probably many will be
testing it.

Also, much of our stuff is only in our ISO. Therefore, we won't have
much problem with uploading our packages up until Final Freeze. After
that, I really need to poke someone in order to get an upload through,
and I would only do that to fix something critical.

I do think we should consider all options now as far as the look goes.

I should have something finished by next week. I don't have more time
than that do work on it, anyway. I really just want to add something
more to it, making it more useful. Unfortunately, I will have to do that
after Feature Freeze (which is in effect). Would have been better to get
that stuff in well before, but this is how it is.

btw, just before a release, such as the Beta1, uploads have to be
stopped so that no one accidentally breaks everyones ISO. That is not a
part of Feature Freeze, when I was talking about archive freeze before.
