The rationale seems to be that most developers work on the projects on
their spare time which is usually after work, so that gives the
maximum amount of time for each developer to put the last strings in.
Also, it makes it easier for each to track when you are allowed to
make the last changes.

I agree with these criteria. And it's not a big deal for the
translator to wait a few more hours.
