Google Chrome 5.0 (Mstone:5) Release Schedule

[Anthony LaForge]

Howdy folks,

The 5.0 release is quickly coming to a close with the feature/string freeze April 2nd coming in only 11 days (i.e. it's the point where we branch for the beta and all features that we want to ship w/ 5.0 should be functionally live, on trunk, with strings in place ready for translation).  After this point bug and stability fixes will be welcome to the branch, however, with very limited exception, if a feature does not make this release it will have to wait for the next beta/stable milestone.

At this moment we have 750+ open issues open for this release.  Given the timing, I'd kindly ask that all chromium developers to take a quick/ aggressive pass to scrutinize what issues need to be fixed/closed/punted to the next release.
