Yes, but the only thing "rushed" is the release of KPeople tarball about 8
days sooner.
Everything else is pretty much in order, so there's definitely not an
"enormous rush"
to things and not at all a freeze violation.

No, I'm annoyed by the fact that all I hear is "this is rush rush rush rush
mess mess mess"
and only _after_ all the moves have had happened. That's why there is the
review period.
And I started it since beginning of February. Nobody in the review periods
asked the
right questions, nobody really objected or disagreed to anything and
suddenly it's all rush
and mess while it's just one single tarball in question and already with a
solution.

Makes me think that maybe the review process does not work that well...

I never said anything about not agreeing with the rules (and it's really
not about the rules).
