Can you post links to the specific issues that get "just one more chance", so we know where to focus efforts? I'd like to second Larry's idea that Dries' official announcement of the code freeze include links to the specific issues that are still on the table.

The first 2-3 weeks, patches that improve either usability or performance might still be considered assuming they don't break any APIs.
I'm hoping that upgrading to the latest jQuery falls underneath the UI or performance exemption umbrella. Here's the issue: http://drupal.org/node/146462 jQuery version 1.1.3 was just released and is reporting up to 800% speed improvements on their DOM traversal. http://jquery.com/blog/2007/07/01/jquery-113-800-faster-still-20kb/ The next target release date for jQuery version 1.1.4 is at the end of July, and so I don't know if that will fall outside of the 2-3 week window. Their announcement says that 1.1.4 "will also mark a number of methods as deprecated, in accordance with the upcoming jQuery 1.2 release." Hopefully Drupal won't be too effected by these deprecated functions. The projected release date for jQuery 1.2 is at the end of August. -Kent.
