If I'm not mistaken, this is a matter of a week and a half (or at most 3 
weeks, depending on if the 5th December limit applies to the migration 
or the unblock - not clear to me). After that, no changes of type ii 
will be accepted, which are the only ones that explicitly have to go 
through unstable. Then everything we are still allowed to fix (RC bugs 
and translation/documentation fixes that can slip in with it) can go 
through TPU, which means we can start to work with unstable again, right?

Or am I misreading the freeze policy?

Cheers,
Martin
