Well, yes and no. I as a outsider got the impression that the freeze 
after test3 is to long and to much people don't take it serious. *Maybe* 
it would be better if test3 (or name it rc1?) would really be a hard 
freeze. Something like "hey guys, test3 is really close to final; get 
you shit in place by test3, there is not much time left after it to fix 
stuff."

Well, as I said, that what it looks to me as an outsider.
