Sort of, even though we broke it in a few areas, which we found to not be quite ready yet, combined with the fact that many people went on long vacations. So the feature freeze a few weeks back was actually a bit premature, sorry about that.

So, the suggestion on the table is to

* do the "real" feature freeze next week on thursday
* merge master back to 2.6 before that, it doesn't contain too many changes anyhow
* go with the "regular" cycle of 2 weeks to beta, 4 weeks to rc and 2 weeks to release after that (temptative as always, depending on how many issues are found)
