Technically, the solution is simple: reduce the time between "freeze" and
"branch" to 0.  It used to be very long (like 6 months) and has been
reduced to a month for 24.3 (and I plan to do that again for 24.4), but
it can be reduced further.

Still, it is important to get people to focus on fixing bugs every once
in a while, which is really what the feature freeze is about.
