I think it's probably the same as release freeze. That's when we all
have to justify pretty much everything. Until that point we can all
break things via provides/requires as much as a new package so I think
this is the correct point to call a cut off for new packages (of course
exceptions can always be made - the main risk with new packages is that
they provide something (in the spec) that is also provided by another
package and thus are pulled in accidentally - if this can be shown to be
very unlikely to cause problems for a given package then it could get an
exception. Obviously we should not encourage this :)
