I does raise the bar a bit on the reviewers. I fear more that we are 
driving away users by the mentality around pushing packaging and waiting 
for bug reports to arrive that the package is basically broken.  If we 
continue along that path more we won't be left with much users.

Package maintainers or reviewers obviously don't love freeze or QA 
policies but it is a necessary evil if we are focusing on serving end 
users with robust software.
