Gnus is a bit of a corner case. Tentatively, I think we could follow a
similar procedure to what we did during the Emacs 22 release cycle,
i.e. have Emacs CVS track the Gnus stable branch. As we get closer in
the cycle, we'll have a harder freeze.
Could you tell me what the status of Gnus development currently is, and
these limited features you plan to implement are?
