We apparently have different definitions of "few"; mailing 12 days after
the initial freeze announcement is quite different from mailing 12 days
after the announcement of the more restrictive approach.

The upload history of the php5 package disagrees with you. 5.3.1 was
originally uploaded to unstable in early February, and 5.3.2 in March;
5.3.2-1 migrated to testing in April.

Surely it would have been better if this had not been left so late in
the cycle?

Please could you explain this comment? As above, PHP 5.3.2 has been in
unstable since March, and testing since April; that was the maintainers'
decision and not something that required the Release Team to be "ready
to accept the consequences".
