Yes: it's good for analysing 6-man positions with facing (including 'blocked')
Pawns if you have the 5-man subgames - except that it doesn't allow promotions
yet which is a constraint I expect to see removed.

If one had the 6-man Nalimov EGTs to hand, FREEZER would analyse 7-man endings
with facing Pawns.

I don't know what the frequency of such positions is in games: maybe someone can
search a chess database?

Also good re the efficacy of fortresses, but haven't used it for this.
