Yes, I know there is a major upheaval in Sid after release, but I don't
think I've ever noticed Sid being frozen...
What does make sense is not to allow Sid to get too far ahead of the
frozen testing, at least in terms of major system architecture. Testing
must remain upgradable to the latest state of Sid without too many
breakages, once the freeze is over.
I didn't want to complicate things too much.
