I would like to point out, that the capability, and the rule, mentioned above (amusingly, in the same email), are to my viewpoint, directly in conflict with each other. The concept of allowing a user to freeze a package a particular version, is in essence, an anti-patch. (ie: instead of patching "up", it is patching "down") To me, it is just another variant of "dim-sum patching"
