Noble Numbat (to be 24.04 LTS) Beta Freeze

As of a short while ago, noble has entered the Beta Freeze, with a goal of
releasing Beta images sometime late Thursday.  *From now until the Beta is
released, please only upload updates for packages on any release images if
you /need/ to get them into the Beta itself.* Please hold off with
everything else until after we release on Thursday.

The queue freeze will last from now until the final release next month,
which means that all seeded packages will now need a spot-check and review
in the queue from a release team member before they are let into the
archive.

As with the previous releases, we have a bot in place that will accept
uploads that are unseeded and don't affect images.  Don't take this as an
open invitation to break Feature Freeze on those components, this is just to
reduce the burden on the release team, so we only review the uploads that
need very serious consideration.  If you find the bot is blocking an upload
that you think should have been auto-accepted, let us know and we'll sort it
out.

We will be spinning a set of Beta candidates in the next 12 hours or so.  We
then encourage people to start testing ASAP for their favourite flavour(s) as
they come off the line.

Happy bug-hunting from now until the final release, and please do help out and
test images, etc, where you can and let us know what's broken in your
environment(s).

As a reminder, the Beta images will appear on the ISO Tracker here:
