The upstream contributors can try to have their best stuff done and stable before the scheduled freeze and keep the experimental stuff until that stable is done. If all upstreams care and pay attention the freezes should be shorter. Of course not all upstreams care about Debian so that might not be completely true in the end. At very least they'll have a chance. For the users, we should end up with better, more synchronized updates to the distro. This is a good thing. I think it’s a great idea.
