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.
