But the point is that this was corrected less than 24 hours before the 
freeze kicks in. This is a completely unacceptably short notice.

It is already bad enough that Fedora freezes happen on 00:00 UTC on the 
announced day as opposed to 24:00 UTC as used in almost all other projects 
(and fixing that would not even require any kind of procedure or policy 
change, it would just require subtracting 1 from all the freeze dates that 
get posted on the wiki!), which caught several of us off guard more than 
once (yet, nobody even bothered replying to my requests to fix that), but 
now even that can no longer be trusted because the posted dates get "fixed" 
with a 0-day notice.

IMHO, the right thing to do would be to quickly postpone the freeze (i.e., 
unfreeze where necessary) by a whole week, then it's still on midnight from 
Monday to Tuesday as usual, but people will have gotten a reasonable 
advanced notice.
