Josh is nowhere in line with what I thought the plan was.  We're busting
our butts to have a short release cycle, and then we're going to piss it
all away after feature freeze?  Nope.  I thought we were hoping for
release June-ish, or worst case July-ish.  A short devel cycle should
not need a slow test cycle.
