Sorry for mixing up the release date of 3.4. It is indeed due to 20.10.2014, so
the initial upload would be before the freeze, of course.

According to the correct release date, the requested freeze exceptions for the
bug fix releases would then evaluate to November, December and evtl. January.
I would like to notice, that the bug fix releases of the project are strictly
conservative and never introduced any regressions to my knowledge.
