Imho, yes. But then, it's not up to me to decide.

This list is getting longer with each email. Seeing that syslinux 5 has
been in sid for less then 10 days, I'm worried what other issues might
show up.
While I can understand (from personal experience) that freeze-time is
sometimes frustrating, delaying the release even further doesn't help
anyone.
If we want to improve our procedures, how we handle d-i, freeze etc, now
is not the time to discuss/work on this.

Just my 2¢
