I stand corrected. I'm still not sure that delivering pre-freeze
test composes should affect the length of the freezes.

I'm not sure either. History has shown, that we have a hard time doing
multiple things at the same time. I wasn't advocating extending the
freezes to accommodate the Test Composes, but instead the Public Testing
Duration of Alpha and Beta--time when releng and others aren't so 'hair
on fire' before preparing the next Public release :) This would (going
back to a prior discussion) increase the total time between the public
release of Alpha and Beta.
I'll try to come up with a new schedule scenario or two (factoring in
the things we've discussed here) to see if that can bring everyone
closer to agreement. I'll post them here by Monday, hopefully sooner.
