There is a precedent for accepting this kind of update during freeze,
but GNOME is usually in a more organized state to start with (i.e.
we're usually going from something like an organized set of .91 builds
to an organized set of .0 builds), so I suspect the danger of
destabilizing the Beta is slightly higher. The earlier the update can
be put together, the less unhappy I'd be to accept it wholesale through
the freeze. Note that Go/No-Go is scheduled for next Thursday.

To make sure everyone's on the same page, if we do *not* accept the
update for the Beta, then by default those who install the Beta will
get it on their first system update after installing (as updates-
testing is enabled by default for pre-releases). Thus it will still
certainly be testable.

The decision to be made is basically "do the benefits of having the
3.30.0 builds actually in the Beta, in terms of making the live image
and first boot environment work better, outweigh the risks that they
will somehow cause issues for the compose process or contain undetected
critical bugs worse than those in the current builds". The more runway
we have to test the compose process and the composed artifacts, the
happier I'd be with saying the benefits will likely outweigh the
drawbacks.
