Right. I understand your concern - considering the volume of requests
from our team :-).
These patches are mandatorily reviewed and tested by at least two
developers and verified by the QA team independently. In fact, I have
approved roughly just one-third of the freeze break requests that I have
received last week.

Yes. This is a nasty data corruption bug reported right after the freeze
but fortunately before the release.
