Actually, this is a good data point because Danilo brought this up on
d-d-l in terms of the 2.14 schedule mentioning that we haven't had a
don't-release-sooner-than-X guideline before, but such a guideline
would help them.  What would work for Evolution here?  Would
specifying that tarballs for a release should include translations up
to Friday 23:59 UTC before the release allow you enough time?  I think
if we document this kind of stuff, then it'll go a long ways towards
preventing misunderstandings such as this thread.

Thanks everyone!
