Ah.  I misunderstood.  Thanks for the clarification.

We only hard freeze unseeded Universe about three or four days before release, 
so I don't think there's a lot of room for gain there.  The fact that these 
packages need a manual push through the queue once the queue is frozen for 
Main and seeded packages is an artifact of Launchpad's limitation and not 
release policy.
