I think the freezing of docbooks is exaggerated. It is very rare it has any 
bad effect. Unlike the GUI it has no effect on the translated docbooks that 
the English docbooks change. The only change happens when we run update_xml, 
and then even not if the docbook's po-file has a fuzzy. Also if the 
translation of a docbook is way behind it should be removed because otherwise 
valuable (if not translated) information will be hidden from the user.

So yes the freeze of the GUI strings is very important, but I don't see why 
the docbooks have to be frozen more than a couple of days towrds the end. The 
only thing that ius needed in the freeze-period is that whenever the docbooks 
are changed, the pot-files should be produced immediately, and themerging 
should be done, so that we don't run update_xml against a newer docbook.
