I want to thank the release engineer's indulgence, however selfish his 
motivations :) I think drag-and-drop is in good enough shape to be 
labeled as "experimental" and not disrupt the rest of the system. I may 
try to sneak in a fix or two for the highlighting in drag-and-drop, but 
I promise that nothing will be major.

One thing I think worth hacking on even during the freeze is the Beagle 
back end, which doesn't work right now due to bit rot. A couple of 
methods need to be implemented to at least get the address book demo 
working again. It would be really nice to ship the release with the 
Beagle back end at least limping along.

We don't have a good bug data base other than Paolo's wiki page at 
http://mcclim.cliki.net/Bug. This is unfortunate and should be addressed 
  after the release in order to get ready for the next one (in a couple 
of months, right Andreas?), but it's all we've got for now. I'm going to 
add another one soon. We should take a look and see if any can be fixed 
easily now and which ones should be a priority for next release.
