+1, however I do have a reservation in that this has tended to lend
itself to a flood of very rough draft last minute PRs being submitted
on the days just before freeze. In any case, I'm asking here for an
additional 1.5 weeks BEFORE the usual freeze rules / exemptions kick
in.

Right -- we definitely do need to document these policies somewhere.
Maybe I'll try for that during freeze ;)
