The use of such a tarball is marginal - there's already supposed to be one 
at the start of the freeze for submission to the Translation Project.

The main thing is having a (long enough) proper freeze after which there 
are no major architecture-independent changes (ABI or otherwise) other 
than reverting the addition of any new features that have proved 
problematic at a late stage.
