+I don't know. I think most freeze push requests were due to the fact, 
+that packagers wanted to have their baby in the release.
+Because every packager knows, he only has to wait some days to submit 
+it to Cauldron again.
+So I don't think any packager would be any the happier by this 
+solution.
+
+I have to agree with misc. It would only mean having more work.
