    To prevent a rash of uploads right before the freeze date which, in turn,
introduces a rash of new bugs which, in turn, extends the freeze period as
the maintainers try to remove the bugs that were introduced in the first
place.  I think the whole point some people have been driving is that
packages should be updated regardless of the freeze time and any maintainer
that snoozes, looses.
