Feature freeze was used to discourage the submission of very big patches
shortly before beta.  The commit fest process has IMO alleviated this
concern.  Beta is still the definite cutoff; and the closer we get to
beta, the smaller the acceptable changes become.  I think that formula
basically applies throughout the entire cycle.
