Per dda@ mails and freeze policy and probably other communication media, please file bug reports instead of mailing the list directly. Without taking a definitive decision on the topic, I don't think updating blends/meta packages should be a big issue (except if we see an upload + unblock request every day for all packages); so please do file bug reports, one per package, and we'll see what happens on a case by case basis.
