It does, but not "activated" on the UI.  All the various packages do is
turn on the ability to be called upon by the user in addition of other
software.  Freezeman is another package that does this.  There are a lot
of others but the names exscape me at the moment.  Stand alone had a
package that was just to enable this feature.

After it is enabled you don't need the software that did it anymore.
Although some make freezing large swaths of packages easier via user
created lists.  Newtscase had a couple of packages for this that were
really good, best I ever saw for the Newt, but harder to acquire these
days.  Not sure if the author is contactable any more or not.  I haven't
talked with him in probably 7 or 8 years.
