Err, actually, no.  I probably didn't put my thoughts to words in the best
manner possible.

I meant to say that I like the idea of a 'doc freeze before the release',
since it will give translators some time to catch up with the English
versions of important documents.  I would like to have at least the release
notes and a first cut at the Handbook, translated by the time 4.6 hits the
shelves, but when I say it's too early to ask for a freeze I meant that the
Greek translation I'm pushing through it's first stages, doesn't have
enough of the documentation translated to justify a freeze request.
