Because without them the debuginfos are pretty useless. So if we don't
override the freeze and release them as zero-day updates, then, as far
as I understand, a user who wants to use the debuginfo will have to
pull in the updated package and the updated debuginfo, instead of just
the debuginfo.
Other than that, the changes are pretty trivial. So why not get them
in and have a polished F11 GA instead of burdening the average Joe
user who likes to tell PK to "download all updates"? Not everyone has
a nice broadband connection, you know. :-)

Yes, that is another reason, but to me having a polished GA looks more
important.
Happy hacking,
