Not yet. Softfreeze means that packages that are not in testing will not
migrate any more. Exactly *this* packages can be uploaded to unstable no
matter what freeze stage we have. The sense of uploading to experimental
is that we need a chance to upload small dedicated fixes to packages only
addressing RC bugs for manual migration by release team. But packages not
in testing will not get this manual care and can go to unstable (may be
serving nicely for the next Ubuntu sync).
So uploading to experimental for packages that are in testing will start
with hard freeze. Meanwhile we should try very hard to get all RC bugs
solved and all testing removal warnings resolved.

This was answered by Graham.
Kind regards
