Sure.  We could have a short 'cool down' period when the  trunk is frozen. . A 
release is much more than packaging and uploading. People will need time to  
cleanup image, take screenshots and screencasts for documentation, update 
documents and websites, post announcements, blogs etc.

Just so that the pace doesn't slacken, The Freeze can be kept short (say no 
more than two weeks) and well-spaced (say no more than four freezes in a 
year).

Now back to the topic of image versioning :-).
