I think, we are talking past each other.
You seem to be referring to "the freeze" in terms of the final release push,
while I am talking about what you'd probably call alpha or beta stage.
Actually, I am referring to the stage of the release preparations, when
rel-eng stops pushing packages from "update-testing" to "main".
This stage, in case of f25, has taken ca. 3-4 weeks (IIRC).
During this stage, many fc25 updates stalled in updates-testing, while their
fc23/fc24/rawhide counterparts had been pushed into "main" => broken update
paths.
Yes, but they will be resolved before GA ships assuming the
maintainers have pushed them stable.
