* ''Please do not edit''
 * Freezes normally happen at the start of the given date, UTC time.  So last minute changes need to happen the day before.
 * The rationale for this schedule is captured at DapperReleaseProcess
 * '''NOTE:''' this schedule has been revised to delay the final release by 6 weeks, with corresponding changes to various other deadlines (MattZimmerman, 2006-03-16)
 * See DeveloperResources for the freeze exception process.
