See the dangers of writing so you can be misunderstood?  :-)

To summarize:

We have consensus on the desirability of a -doc freeze.  Excellent.

We need to determine an appropriate length of time for the freeze.
While a week sounds good to some, we could really use buy-in from the
Japanese translation team.  I'll write directly to Hiroki and ask him
what he thinks.

Personally, I don't really like the idea of a hard relnotes freeze.
But I don't maintain the relnotes, have never maintained the relnotes,
and probably never will maintain the relnotes, so I'll just utter my
wish for relnotes flexibility and let it die in silence, unmourned and
unloved by those it cares for.
