Please include a URL, to ensure we are talking about same things.
The newest announcement[1] do not promise "not to freeze this december",
but just to "revisit the decision" and "consulting all key teams within
Debian" regarding "a new timeline" - without clarifying if that means
new compared to the earlier releases or new compared to the earlier
announcement[2].
Please also note that the earlier announcement was targeted the general
public, whereas the newer one was targeted developers only. So for the
outside world their earlier announcement still stand.

Please provide a reference, I am quite interested in understanding this
issue.
Without knowing the details, I find it odd how that can be possible -
within each Debian package is bound a logic of only preserving versioned
build-dependencies until oldstable, which means I believe affects
reliability of upgrades done from packages older than last stable
release.

Thanks for the pointer.
Steffen: Would be nice if you included some pointer to support your
claim too.
Kind regards,
