Here's the current timetable for 5.10.1 (such as it is):
1) Finish off the backlog of merging from bleed (~ 2 weeks)
2) dampen any smoking fires
3) push out a snapshot, principally to check that the merged changes and
module updates all seem okay
4a) fix smartmatching and known regressions from 5.8.x
4b) synchronise dual-life modules with CPAN
4c) dampen any remaining smoke
4d) finish perldelta
5) push out RC1 and wait a week; rinse and repeat as necessary
Note thate there won't be a single code-freeze point as such; more a
gradually increasing level of paranoia. However, after 1) and 2) I don't
envisage merging any scary changes, so in particular if a major dual-life
module update gets into bleed after that date, it's unlikely to get merged
into bleed. After that point, I will probably only be interested in module
updates that backport a bleed version to CPAN.
