Final Freeze for Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring) now in effect

[Adam Conrad]

For the timezone challenged, as of 2100UTC today, the archive is
officially fozen in preparation of release candidates and the
final release of Raring Ringtail in a week.

Uploads from here on in should fall into the following bins:

1) Installer/release-critical bugs that absolutely MUST get fixed
   lest we risk shipping a broken image that turns computers pink
   or sets them on fire:  Please contact the release team about
   these bugs and upload (well-tested) solutions ASAP.

2) Non-release-critical-but-nice-to-have bugfixes:  These are
   fixes that you would absolutely feel comfortably about doing
   as an SRU but not necessarily destabilising the release process
   for.  Again, contact the release team, and we may slip some of
   these in, while asking you to defer the rest to SRUs.

3) Feature additions, massive code refactoring, user interface
   changes, non-typo string changes:  Just don't upload these, or
   ask about them.  The time for them came and went long ago.

4) Updates to non-seeded packages:  Technically, unseeded packages
   don't freeze until pretty much right before release.  While this
   is true, we may still try to talk you out of pushing some huge
   new upstream version of something, or start a library transition
   at the zero hour.  We're only a week away from opening the next
   release, a bit of patience (or prepping in a PPA, etc) might be
   a decent plan.

Here's hoping everyone gets on board with testing images, helping
to fix absolutely critical bugs, donating spare creative cycles to
the release notes, and any other way we can all contribute to yet
another great Ubuntu release.
