I was away for the weekend and am struggling to catch up on my email.   
Since I haven't digested this entire thread, I'll refrain for the  
moment from giving my opinion, however this comment jumped out to me.

I do not want to slip the schedule if at all possible.  If serious  
security issues, performance problems, show stopper bugs crop up, then  
we will obviously slip so that we don't have to put a brown bag over  
our heads.  Slipping to get yet one more feature in is not (IMO)  
acceptable.

An incentive for keeping the schedule: If we hit our October 1st  
deadline, then 2.6 and 3.0 will almost certainly be included in some  
upcoming major new OS releases.  If we slip, then it's unlikely to  
happen.
