I don't agree. I think this is an appropriate time for string freeze
and I wouldn't want to curtail document writing by pushing our
documentation freeze back at all (your proposal involves pushing it
back at least a week). I think where it is now allows for enough time
for both writing and translating.

There is no real problem with uploading. The beta will be released
today and uploads can then be processed normally. There is no need for
an exception after the beta is released [1].
