 Thanks for great info. If I understood it correctly, our bugfix-only
release 2.2.5 a couple of days after Ubuntu feature freeze actually
should qualify as freeze exception. But that would require that Debian
packet to be synced from becomes available in a timely manner and
introduces no new non-bugfix changes, and that someone requests sync.

 NEWS-2.2.5 document listing fixes already in place can be found from

 I personally am still going to fix several memory leaks, one of them
huge one in SDL-client: https://gna.org/bugs/?17716
