Well the thing is if we have string freeze begin at a strange time not
associated with any milestone, I suspect many developers will not
actually be able to remember when it begins. The status quo of the
three-week freeze is just not very elegant anymore now that the .91
release is gone.
Do you generally get many string change notifications? I assume they
should be relatively rare, since string changes after UI freeze are not
terribly common, yes? I checked just now, and I count three string
change announcements for GNOME 40, all from Milan, plus one freeze
break request that was mistakenly submitted during the string change
announcement period because the maintainer incorrectly assumed we were
in string freeze during that time. So I think changing string freeze to
last five weeks probably won't make too much difference, and it will
simplify our schedule such that all freezes except hard code freeze
start at the same time. And of course it means more time for
translators to work.
Anyway, i18n team gets final say on this of course. I'll schedule it
however you prefer.
