Thanks QIngsheng, +1 for extending the feature freeze date to Jan 31st.
I'm aware of several feature developing threads that are struggling to catch the deadline. Extending the freeze date would help avoid halfly-cooked features and last-minute rushes. Moreover, I believe most of the contributors from China won't be able to focus on the release testing anyway until Jan 28th. Thus, the release is probably not postponed by the extension of the feature freeze as much as it looks like.
