== Unseeded packages ==

For packages in universe that aren't seeded in any of the Ubuntu flavors, this final freeze is nominal (packages remain in FeatureFreeze); however when the archive is frozen, fixes must be manually reviewed and accepted by the release team members. When we are close to release (~1.5 days out), developers should consider uploading to -proposed, from which the release team will cherry-pick as into the release pocket if circumstances allow. Any packages which do not make it will become candidates for StableReleaseUpdate.
