I don't think the panel deserves a special exception. I would say it's
OK to fix any feature that worked in 1.4 and now does not. Other
features (including half-done features that are new for 2.0) will need
to be individually reviewed after the feature freeze date.

If there is consensus that feature freeze on the 23rd is unreasonable,
then we canpush it forward, but in effect that would mean majorly
blowing out the Feb 15 target date for the final release.
