Congrats to the team and everyone who helped!

I had to check how “hard freeze” is defined in the GCD¹:

  ## Testing and Hard Freeze (week 10)
  Release Crictical (RC) bugs and issues should be solved for the release 
branch.

  Only changes that will fix a non-building package, or a RC bug in a
  package/service are allowed.  Ideally avoid new upstream versions, but it's
  acceptable to use a new minor upstream version to solve a bug.

  Any non-building packages are deprecated using the Deprecation Policy.  As 
always,
  packages can be un-deprecated at a later date.

I think we contributors might need to solicit you, release team, to
determine whether a given bug is “release critical”, for the non-obvious
cases.
