True, but 2.8.1 had many other changes.

That's not true.  The archive was frozen on May 3, so a low-priority upload
on April 30 would not have been a candidate for testing before then.  (I
don't think aba's "urgency inflation" hint was actually active in April, but
it doesn't matter because of the above.)

into testing during the freeze.

I've reviewed the diff for 2.8.2 now; it's approved to go in.
