I am a bit hesitant to let more breakages in :)  It looks like we have
reached the Debian trap: releases/core-update merges happen so infrequently
that people become desperate to get their favourite update in, which causes
build failures, which delay the release cycle, da capo ad infinitum.

Personally I would prefer to freeze now, then to let other big changes
(mesa for instance) happen in a feature branch; if all goes well, it could
be merged a week or two later, if it breaks things, it will anyway take
the time it needs to fix them.
