Although that is true, we don't export that info as part of the excuses, except for package that are out-of-sync between unstable and testing. I hope you don't propose to make something new for all packages as I'm not too interested to start generating such output. Maybe it's just simpler if from the start of the freeze the tracker stops hinting packages along until the release. As although technically allowed, new upstream releases most often aren't appropriate anymore once the (soft) freeze starts and maybe shouldn't be hinted anymore even during the transition freeze. So, maybe all the tracker needs is the freeze date and the release date. Paul
