Actually I'm not sure that we generally have a docs freeze at all.
The reference pages may freeze a bit before release, because there
is some manual effort needed to produce the man-page formatted files
from them. But that's an artifact of our current document generation
toolset rather than something that anyone finds desirable. The SGML
docs can surely be worked on right up till release.
Of course it is better to get major docs changes in sooner rather than
later, if only so other people have a chance to look 'em over.
