GNOME Schedule simplified: Freezes merged

[Andre Klapper <ak-47 gmx net>]

As discussed on desktop-devel-list[1][2] and by the release-team[3], the
GNOME release schedule[4] has been simplified by

      * dropping UI Change Announcement Period, and
      * merging String Change Announcement Period, API/ABI Freeze,
        Feature Freeze, and UI Freeze into "The Freeze", taking place on
        February 20th.
String Freeze and Hard Code Freeze remain as is.

Please take a look at

On behalf of the release-team,

PS: If you have a better name for "The Freeze", we can use it for
3.5. ;-)
