We are not talking about strings changes. I think like you about strings
changes, we are talking about untranslated strings. If we don't add
them, they will be all untranslated for all teams, if we add those
strings to be able to translate them, some teams will be able to
translate ALL GNOME, perhaps the other teams you are talking about will
lose the 100% statistic, but the teams that have the needed resources
will be able to translate all strings.

If there is any string change we should NOT change it until 2.5.0, but a
string addition is a must. We did it with GNOME 2.0
(http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2002-July/msg00137.html) Why
shouldn't we do it now?

Cheers.
