I'm not happy with it- like Malcolm pointed out, this breaks every
conceivable freeze /badly/, and I've been lead on proposing and
enforcing those freezes. Worse, I feel personally responsible for
finding these kinds of things and bringing them up, so I screwed that
pooch too.

But we let something slip through that changing for the worse how we
look to each of our new users. So we have to (IMHO) suck it up.
