Sorry for the imprecision:

1. by vanilla TL, I meant the one installed from the TeX Collection DVD
  or the official `texlive2016.iso' file (available since 23-May-2016)
2. by "frozen for ever", I meant the previous one installed but updated
  after a recent `tlmgr update --self --all' (with the message "TeX Live
  2016 is frozen forever and will no longer be updated.  This happens in
  preparation for a new release.").

I'm not sure to understand: the latest packages available in testing
and unstable are very close to 1. or to 2. above?

Thanks!
