It look to me like the code freeze took a long time. Fifteen or twenty releases during code freeze suggests that too many bugs had developed for too long. Having a code freeze more often would keep the overall code cleaner, I would think.
I think there is a danger in bugs snowballing. If there are twenty bugs in the networking code, it is far more difficult to determine where a problem is originating from, when it started (was it in 1.3.58 or 1.3.92?) and especially whether it is a new bug or a newly uncovered bug.
Is there a critical-mass for bugs?
