I do agree that an indefinite development freeze with unclear
parameters for resuming development and unclear goals is a bad plan.
But I think giving ourselves a little more time to, say, turn the
buildfarm consistently green, and, say, fix the known but
currently-unfixed multixact bugs, and, say, fix the known bugs in 9.5
features is a good plan, and I hope you and others will support it.

Yes, its a good plan and I support that. That's just normal process. 

If you mean we should allow that to stall the release of Beta then I disagree. The presence of bugs clearly has nothing to do with the discovery of new ones and we should be looking to discover as many as possible as quickly as possible.

I can understand the argument to avoid releasing Beta because of Dev Meeting, so we should aim for June 25th Beta 1.
