I believe so, yes, maybe even for the soft freeze (I am not sure how
much the time shortens for migrating packages fixing important bugs,
it varies).

Your plan sounds OK. Changing packages after the release, with time,
should be OK. I can submit automatic bug reports for the affected
packages.
Maybe it would even be possible to have the applications set a global
variable, e.g.:
enum class Render { Default = 1, Basic };
FTGL->setRender(Render renderType);
and then the Render() function(s) would dispatch to either
RenderDefault() or RenderBasic() versions as appropriate?
Cheers.
