I guess you will not understand at each other if you use the term
"freezing unstable" with two different meanings. I see that the term
may have at least two meanings:
* "frozen" is created initially as a copy of unstable. After this,
frozen and unstable evolve separately, unless you upload some package
for "frozen unstable", as we did in the old days. I bet Adrian would
not call this a proper freeze of unstable, as it would be the "frozen"
distribution who would be really frozen, not unstable.
* "unstable" is actually frozen, which means uploads for unstable
are either discouraged, they remain in the limbo, or they are automatically
put in some other distribution above unstable, like new-unstable, until
testing or unstable becomes the new stable.
