string freeze policy and release notes

[Matthew Miller]

Okay, so, someone asked me about the freeze and how that relates to
release notes.

I found

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_notes_process#The_Process

which seems basically sane. But I also found

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_Freezes#What_changes_are_affected_by_the_string_freeze.3F

which states explicitly that it convers release notes, and gives an
exception policy here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Software_String_Freeze_Policy

which also doesn't sound completely off base, except that the string
freeze is nominally at the same time as the *alpha* freeze, which seems
significantly early (halfway through the six month release cycle) for
meaningful release notes.

What's the deal here — is some of this out of date and due for a
revision?
