Did I miss the documentation about this? It does not seem to be in the
freeze policy.

How many bugs tagged help actually go get help?

That'll hold for less than a percent of the removals.

This is a quite nice opportunity to say something like "you haven't
been nice enough to us in the past or you have dared to speak up when
you didn't like what we did, so you're free to take a hike with your

I find that unnecessarily humiliating and will probably not do this
and rather live without my package in stable for this release.
