Some backpedaling on Debian freeze dates

- be bitterly debated for several months on the general mailing lists

- generate at least a 900 post thread on Debian-Legal

- involve at least one call for the resignation of the DPL

- actually cause at least one resignation (usually by one of the people who had been calling for the DPL's resignation, and accompanied by a letter of resignation packing so much drama as to make Peyton Place look like a sitcom by comparison.)

- result in a flurry of general refferendums

- degenerate into a discussion of how binary blobs are against the DFSG, thus nullifying the existence of all previous Debian releases, and in fact, the existence of the Debian developers themselves.

- end up being settled by a hastily assembled compromise expedient with which no one is truly happy.

Did we bypass all that this time. Or is it still on the way?
