Now I see... I have updated the graph, see if it fits:

https://mattia.fedorapeople.org/updates_policy_v2.svg

Another couple of things which are not entirely clear to me:

- the "pre-beta-freeze" is said to be going "after the branch event 
happens but before the beta freeze". The usage of "pre-beta-freeze" 
suggests that there's an ongoing freeze, which isn't true... I would 
suggest you to name this section "pre-bodhi-change-point".
- the following section is named "beta-freeze and bodhi-change-point", 
but I think it should be named only "bodhi-change-point" since 
"beta-freeze" sits at the end of Pre Beta.
