Nope, the freeze is over as soon as the git tag for the release is pushed, cf https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Committing_checklist#Release_freezes We'd unfreeze when the stamping commit is made, except that we want some breathing room for a re-wrap if a packager discovers a critical problem. We give them 24 hours to report that. (What happens if a critical problem is discovered shortly later? We'd probably use a new minor release number in that case.) regards, tom lane
