I cannot remember why these are different.   I would suggest that they be the same.

Frankly, the freeze simply means that we make a branch and change from individual project team approval of changes to group approval of changes.

These freeze dates are really a way to give ourselves a reason to get things done earlier.   By having an agreed to freeze we just know to work on those things before the freeze.

Back in 2005 r so we might have wanted some things to be pushed past a code freeze - but in a mature product like ours, i See no upside in a later string freeze.  

After the freeze it simply means changes (string or otherwise) must go through a branch/merge process notifying folks of the change.

I am +1 on making string freeze the same as code freeze.

And since I had some scotch tonight before bed - I might deny all of this in the morning :)
