Great idea.

But I suggest you do it the week before the beta. The reason is that after the 
beta strings are frozen. And it seems to me that polishing would require 
changes to string. Now, you would say, lets push the string freeze, but, this 
would be done at the expense of translations work, so if we were to do that, I 
would suggest to push the RC/final version by one week as well.

In other words, the options would be:

- polish week is one week before beta
- polish week is after beta, with one week of delay for the freeze and with 
four weeks between beta and RC
