IMHO, if we know that we are not in a good enough state to release, we
should delay the start of the freeze (in the current case where it has
already started: cancel the freeze and try again later) until we are in a
releasable state. It just does not make sense to extend the freezes forever.
We should only freeze if we are actually ready to prepare a release (e.g.
F28 Beta).
You are speaking from the point of view of scheduling, but the reason
for the freeze is to stabilize things during the release process.
Clearly it is not acceptable to extend the freezes forever if the
release process is not going well, but the solution is to fix the
problems which delay the release, not compound them by unfreezing in the
middle of the process.
Having said that, I could see there might be a case for delaying the
freeze before it starts, if the overall schedule is delayed for
well-understood reasons.
