I'd be *strongly* disinclined to give a Freeze Exception for a GNOME
mega-update. There's just far too much that could go wrong. Please plan to
land the mega-update in updates-testing once the Freeze lifts. U-T is
enabled by default on the Beta, so people will pick it up on their first
post-install update anyway.
There is no need to wait "for the Freeze [to] lift" to land this or any
update in updates-testing. The freeze applies only to the 'stable'
repository: the freeze prevents packages being moved *from* updates-
testing to 'stable' (without approval via FE/blocker process). Packages
can be submitted to, and land in, updates-testing at any time
throughout the cycle.
