I've made a suggestion about this which attempts to learn some of the
lessons from Breezy, regarding quality control and error correction.

I've written:

<quote from page>
I think we should have a dual document freeze: Breezy taught us that
lots of errors in the documentation got picked up after document freeze
and this left us either correcting them and reuploading for translation
and/or not correcting them at all. Therefore I would propose that the
document string freeze is made slightly earlier, allowing for a period
of proper review, followed (1 week, 2 weeks?) by a full freeze after
which NO further changes can be made and documents to go for
translation.
