their kinks worked out or just waiting for rebuilds of dependencies to be
completed. Those can cause a problem if they happen too close to a freeze
since they result in work needing to be done in a very short time frame.
The problem is that those are the very features that are hard to stage,
because the sets of packages to rebuild often intersect.
