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.
