I read that as a way to handle any potential features already in the review queue that didn't beat the retro-active freeze date. Though, there was one time when I've had to add API during freeze to fix a major wayland related bug. My opinion, fwiw, is that features proposed after June 1 would need a very strong justification at this point, and anything after today would have to be an exceptional situation (absolutely required to fix a bug or massive oversight, a showstopper).
