That is not quite the case. Before the announced freeze,
people were going around fixing bugs like there was no tommorrow (I
remember the stress levels on IRC mounting as the deadline
aproached).
Some of us even held back uploads of new code so as to avoid
freezing new, untested code (I am still holding out on some
upgrades). However, when the freeze does not happen, it gets very
frustrating.
The outpouring of frustration should give a hint to the
significance f the freeze day. If we truly did not care, you would
not be having this discussion now.
