The meaning of the above statement was unclear to me.  (In fact,
though I see now that it was not deliberately so, I confess I thought
it was.)

But after Joel's message

 https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/10/msg00456.html

I now interpret it as saying, simply:

Or, in other words, threads deemed off-topic by listmaster@l.d.o may
be frozen, or locked.
