two more questions:

  - How do I follow the "what will become the release" branch?
    In the past, you could just do an svn update on the branch
    at any time, but now this is different for development and
    freeze mode.

  - What do the buildd's test in freeze mode?  It would be bad
    to only test the branch, which doesn't see any changes.

Thanks, Matthias
