Re: GNUstep Code Freeze

[Fred Kiefer]

I would like to collect some feedback on the current state.
Are there any bugs still open that would block making a release? That 
would be really serious bugs that stop a critical GNUstep application 
from working, definitely worked in the last release and cannot be worked 
around in some way.

As for the ICU locale issue we have the work around to not use ICU for 
people with other languages, that should give them about the fallback 
that they had in previous base releases.

As for the gui bugs, I am under the impression that we wont be able so 
fix much more for this release. But a lot of testing is still going on.

Adam, are you willing to prepare this release again?
