There were several remaining issues at the close of the usual [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/2009-10-06 dev meeting], but the consensus seemed to be that we were good to freeze.

The last one is a perf regression that is taking the time of Jason Orendorff, Boris, and Andreas. Andreas produced a couple of patches that will hopefully fix the problem, but we need to see numbers today to know for sure. | ||

* Feedback from Prague is that Localizers are feeling much better about the patches going in to 3.6, compared to 3.5. In particular not as much back and forth. Partly this would be due to 3.7 not being too far out and thus "no" is a better answer. | |||
