The developer has to see the same violations in his workspace as the build
will produce, hence both must use the same baseline which is '3.6.0' for
the '3.6' maintenance stream. That given, the freeze report becomes useless
and should be removed in order to reduce information duplication as the
same information is available in the 'API Tools Version Verification
Report'.

Or, the API freeze check could use 3.6.0 as the reference baseline to
catch any illegal API changes/additions in 3.6.1.
