	The end of the small feature development and bug fixes coincides (March 27th) with the beginning of the maintenance phase. No new features may be added, but the maintainers may check in fixes to bugs; and people with new features that have been accepted and previously merged may fix bugs in existing features. Please don't try to sneak in more new features or you may have your whole feature set removed at the release manager's discretion. You can ask if you want to add small, self-contained features, but there are no guarantees that we will okay them.

	On April ~~19th~~, 2010, we are going to enter the code freeze phase. This indicates that we are in the final stages of the release and our primary goal is stability. During the code freeze phase, only P1 bugfixes will be allowed to be checked in. Our ''goal'' will be to reduce the number of P1 bugs to zero before the release of ns-3.8.
