Yes, I know, but I also speculate that if the feature freeze time is
short, then the number of Boost developers who "need" this is
approximately zero.  It's a plus if all developers are focusing on
the actual release, so even if someone would otherwise be working on
stuff for 1.34.0, if they are instead helping to clear regressions
for 1.33.0, this means the 1.33.0 release will be ready sooner than
otherwise.
