Considering the state of HEAD at the moment, I think we should be going for
a feature freeze much sooner than this. 1st of Jan is quite a long way off
and it would be difficult to make any headway, especially on networking
which is our showstopper, until this is sorted.

IMO, we should be calling for a feature freeze as soon as the TC is elected.
If that feature freeze gets HEAD back in stable and usable condition
quickly, and with a bit of collaboration on networking, we could even aim at
going for a Christmas release for 0.3.0 ?? 
If we are only stating networking must run for qemu and vmware, then I don't
think we are that far off. It's been running in these two environments,
intermittently, for quite some time now.

Stable networking on real hardware could be kept for the 0.3.1 release.
