Historically we have tracked the percentage as "percentage of 
development work/implementation completed."  Features are expected to be 
"complete enough" (testable) by Feature Freeze.  The idea being that the 
implementation is done (100%) or close to done going into the Alpha 
(previously the Beta) and tested during the test releases.

I'm sorry there has been so much confusion this release cycle.  As far 
as I can tell in the conversations I've had with the Feature Wrangler we 
are handling things the same was we have since we started this process. 
If the Feature Wrangler is being inconsistent or deviating from the set 
policy, please let me know so I can pass that on to him ;-)
