Tcl/Tk 8.6 feature freeze and b1 release schedule

My aim is to get Tcl/Tk 8.6b1 released in source code form in time for
an 8.6b1-based ActiveTcl to be distributed at the conference.  After
discussing with the Activators, I've set the target release date as
Friday, October 10, 2008.

If there are TIPs or new-features-yet-to-be-TIPped that someone wants
to argue need to be part of Tcl/Tk 8.6 and those features cannot be
completed by October 10, now is the time to make the case that we
should delay feature freeze.  What should we wait for, and why, and
how long?

Unless someone speaks up on that point, I'll proceed on the Oct. 10
release plan for Tcl/Tk 8.6b1, and everyone with TIPs that they do
think can be done by then should proceed getting them done by then.
Please use TIP 311 to indicate your plans.

Thanks all.
