I believe Ged used the term "remember to concentrate more on bugfixes" 
and not "force people". Those are very different terms...From my 
discussions, I believe a majority of developers feel that there shoudl 
be more concentration towards bug fixes during releases instead of new 
implementations.

Making trunk read-only, on the other head, is not a good idea and might 
hinder some developers if they really wanted to implement something 
new/unrelated to a bug fix, so I don't agree with it either.

I believe the normal established methods of "concentration bug fixes" 
should work well. That is, don't ship until blocking bugs are fixed.
