The factors that drive final freeze for packages that are not on any ISO image have changed somewhat from previous releases, so we can freeze slightly later.
The motu-release team have conferred and here's the plan: Currently, continue uploads before. MOTU Release approval is only needed for feature changes (FFe). Since the archive is frozen, the release team will manually push these uploads through without a detailed review. Universe final freeze will be at 1200UTC on Sunday, 25 October. After that time, MOTU Release will approve all uploads. As with Main, you do not need get approval before upload, we can review in the upload queue, but no uploads will be accepted without MOTU Release review and approval. Important bugfixes (particularly FTBFS fixes) are still encouraged. The deadline for an upload to be approved by MOTU Release will be 1200UTC on Tuesday, 27 October. If very critical fixes are identified after that, there is a small chance the Ubuntu Release team might approve it, but it is more likely that it will be directed to the proposed queue. Throughout this process, we will be monitoring the progress of the buildd queues. If needed, we may start deferring uploads to proposed earlier to ensure that all builds are tried/finished on all architectures before the archive is locked for the release.
