In such a scenario, would packages that branch prior to a mandated
"must branch by" date still find themselves frozen in devel?  If so,
it wouldn't seem to help much...  One would think we'd pursue this
sort of pre-freeze branching, as it would probably tend to get people
in the mindset of "hey, this isn't me noodling around in rawhide
anymore, but a package targeted for actual release".
