Technically speaken there is no huge difference if this changes were done on 
friday or today/ tomorow, if you don't consider the freeze date. As i said 
before, Daniel want to do some adaptions for local_route, and for this a 
minor exception is IMHO ok given the late commit of this feature. The waste 
of time also results from the extensive discussions we've done on this list.

Take a look at the thread "1.4. not freezing tonight", were it was discussed. 
They are of course more developers in the project, but this three were the 
only one that replied in the last days. So i think the other ones don't care 
that much if the freeze was last friday or is in the next days after Daniel 
finished his stuff. Even you've said that its ok if there is a slight delay, 
although if you don't think its a good thing.

I don't want to show disrespect to anybody, if this had happened, i'm sorry 
about that. What i'm trying to get is some compromise were anybody can live 
with, including you and Daniel. My priority is get this release as best as 
possible out of the door, nothing else.

Instead of discussing this over and over again without (IMHO) any real 
progress and also more wasted time and hurt feelings, we should try to get 
back to the actual agenda, like bugfixing and testing the release. After 
Daniel has done his outstanding adaptions the freeze will be in full effect.

If you see still a need for discussion then perhaps you can just give me a 
call, this should be much more efficient than writing long mails. I can also 
organize a phone conference for tomorow with the involved parties if there is 
interest.
