That's why the release plan calls for having a release candidate for two weeks, with no critical issues reported against it, before making a stable release. That release candidate would of course be made from a separate branch, with only translation patches being applied to that branch. I'll wait another day for comments in case anybody missed it due to the savannah list downtime, but I despite my objection, I'll branch stable/2.14 in the next few days unless anybody speaks heavily against it.
