You are certainly right, but I would much prefer having a 1 week string
freeze to make sure that people will not be tempted to delay reviewing
of English templates until the last minute. Developers should use to
take care of translatable text before it is too late.
If some programs (like partman) are in a hurry, their string freeze
might be shortened or even cancelled, but they should be exceptions and
not the rule.
