Well you're right on this one, when there's so much software still in
beta  (Kde2 etc etc)   BUT;

I trully believe is NOT up to US (users) to decide when its the right time to
release something, it should be the company's policy to decide when to
do it.

On the other hand, If 7.2 is released soon,  my hope is that all recent bugs
have been fixed before releasing.

It will be good to have a product for november. And we have to start
thinking of november release now. (talking of a on-the-shelves release).

Yes, but freezing does not seem having something ready. This will be for
oct/nov.
