I see a few issues myself (that dont need to cause a big conflict):
1. Simon doesn't want things to destabilize due to last minute
feature-shoving. this is a real problem and I totally see his point.
2. Mark wants some time to do some cleanup/checks/bugfixing/whatever. I
doubt he wants to do shoving, instead I think these activities contribute
to a quality release.

So i'd recommend just keeping the release branch as is, give a few more
days for additional bugfixes/docs/tests, but restrict the branch to that
only those changes to improve stability.
If this causes timing issues with release management, I'll help too however
I can.
