OK, nobody has commented on this so far, so I'll write something. It probably comes as no surprise (since I've already written as such) that I think this is a good idea. I have no strong opinion about the length of the doc freeze, but hopefully some of the translators will give some input here. > The release notes are difficult, as the -src committers MFC until just > a couple days before.

Thanks, Michael. I'm looking at the commits to RELENG_4 and RELENG_4_5 during the last release cycle. During the week before the final i386 builds (28 January), there were ten commits to the release notes (two of which had to be double-committed to the release branch), which were reflected in revisions 1.22.2.183 to 1.22.2.192 of new.sgml. In retrospect, many of these could easily have landed in the errata file, post-release. We might even be able to do a short, hard RELNOTESng freeze, but I want to know if this would be useful or not.
