Just to followup once and answer all the multiple requests that have been (and will be) come up - during stage 3 it is up to the respective maintainers to decide what is considered a bugfix and whether to allow changes to go in that were submitted during stage 1. The release managers trust the maintainers to make stage 3 a success - which means mainly fixing fallout from stage 1 or to complete features that have been checked in during stage 1. Thanks, Richard.
