I think getting people to focus on fixing bug by stopping new features
going into trunk is the right thing todo, however I'm concerned that
doing this for 3 months may be a little long.

Sadly for me Sakai work come second to local development/deployments
so I have to fit any work around local upgrades. At the moment I'm
moving Oxford to 2.8, out of this come patches which are applicable
for trunk and if they sit in Jira for months they tend to get
ignored/forgotten and then they become out of date.
