after the freeze lifts, you also have multiple contributors dumping large PRs at the same time, missing out on the progressive integration that happens otherwise. This makes it difficult to figure out the cause of regression (think bisect but with large commits).
Code freezes like this are worst when there is no individual branching capability or local revision control, because that guarantees large commits.
