FinalFreeze - implications on Universe?

Dear release team members, 

Based on some discussions we've been having on the other Freezes, would
like to see if there is consensus to make FinalFreeze[1], apply to
Universe as well as main. 

   Right now the process states:

"For packages in universe that aren't seeded in any of the Ubuntu
flavors, this final freeze is nominal; packages must be manually
accepted by the archive admins, but no additional approval is required."

There's no timing on this,  but historically we've not been accepting
into the archive after a certain point. 

What is "seeded" is also a bit ambiguous these days as well.

So...

1) does it make sense to declare FinalFreeze to be freeze on all the
archive?

or 

2) do we want a separate explicit universe Freeze (and be clearer what
is ok to upload in the period between FinalFinal freeze, and this date)

or

3)...


Thoughts?

Thanks, Kate
