Note that there is no automatic blocking of new upstream releases. From
https://release.debian.org/bookworm/freeze_policy.html
"Starting 2023-02-12, only small, targeted fixes are appropriate for
bookworm. We want maintainers to focus on small, targeted fixes. This is
mainly at the maintainers discretion, there will be no hard rule that
will be enforced."
In any case, if you want us to judge if the update to 3.0 would be
acceptable under this rule, we need more info. What's new in the
release? Is this a small update or a major update? etc.
