Nope, the freeze is over as soon as the git tag for the release is
pushed, cf
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Committing_checklist#Release_freezes
We'd unfreeze when the stamping commit is made, except that we want
some breathing room for a re-wrap if a packager discovers a critical
problem. We give them 24 hours to report that.
(What happens if a critical problem is discovered shortly later?
We'd probably use a new minor release number in that case.)
