How is current Debian unstable affected by the freeze?
I can see ca 80 differences between my Debian unstable and Debian testing. Though the most of these differences are cosmetic - for example a little version bump at the end: "-2" and in the ChangeLog accordingly some minor changes for example about better cross build or just a correction in the manuals.
But some differences a more major:

That was an output of my aptitude when configured /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 1533
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 33
What catches me here are the more major differences, for example:
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.20.4-1 2:1.20.3-1
xwayland 2:1.20.4-1 2:1.20.3-1
mesa-va-drivers 18.3.6-1 18.3.4-2
gnupg 2.2.13-1 2.2.12-1
e2fsck-static 1.45.0-1 1.44.5-1
The most dramatic feature enhancement certainly is with the new e2fsck!
