I'm sure of that, however I publically made a promise a few months ago
that offenders of the freezes should be made public
(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-February/msg00516.html).
I could have spared the rant though. I'll just blame that on my fear of
the freezes intentionally being ignored.

Swedish, because we all know there are no Swedish conspiracies. Ok, I'll
shut up now.
