Sorry Andre, but I completely disagree here. The choice is not the one you presented. I could say the same with other freezes. E.g. with the UI freeze : do you want better and more polished UI rather than well tested and documented but minimal and uglier ones because of the freeze... It's a matter of process. When you put a freeze in place, you're simply telling people that they have to do their job in a specific timeframe. The objective here is to have updated AND translated docs. I'm also sure that maintainers have enough work to do the last week-end before the release, ensuring a good and bugfree tarball is delivered.
