I think this is a flaw, then. ALl packages that a frozen
package depends on also need to be frozen. I understand that would
make staged freezes harder to implement; but you can't have a package
fereze, and then have its functionality impaired since a package it
depends on has an RC bug )even worse, fixing the RC bug on the
package may require a change in the frozen, dependent package, which
essentially invalidates the ``freeze''.
I had voiced my misgivings about the celerity of a staged
freeze process, but I did not have enough concrete reasons to be able
to convince enough people.
