Really? All that for a security release?

I *guess* the changes were large/distributed? Have you considered
applying targeted fixes? Were all those 7000/10000 line changes needed
to fix these three grave bugs?

All 7112/10801 lines?

I have no clue what this is and how important it is. Is this in line
with our freeze policy? Can you share some references?

Obviously we want grave bugs fixed, but isn't that possible with
something in line with our freeze policy? If you think this *is* in
line, maybe answering the questions in our FAQ [1] can help you to let
us understand. But so far, it doesn't look like this is acceptable.
