I am going to quote my response to bug 930293. """ During the freeze we only want targeted fixes for bugs of severity important and higher (BTS definition) [freeze-policy], yes [...] but it's possible that new upstream releases *are* targeted bug fixes. However, [...] you as the maintainer have to do the checking. [...] We have had multiple unblock requests where the maintainer was evaluating the changes done upstream and convinced themselves that they all qualified. By doing the evaluation they were often able to convince us. In some cases they didn't. I can only assume that a lot of unblock requests were not filed because the maintainer couldn't convince themselves. [...] Upstream releases are not acceptable at this moment in the release. After what I wrote above, obviously with the exception where you can convince yourself and us that *everything* in the release is qualifying our freeze criteria [freeze-policy].
