Even in code freeze? Who will make sure that the "fix" doesn't introduce
new bugs if there is no review required?

This wasn't as much about "100% status" as it was about 1) not notifying
translators and 2) checking in stuff without permission (as both
release-team and maintainers didn't know about this).

If a fix where additional strings are marked for translation is checked
in, but translators aren't notified, how can that be a better situation?
Beats me -- the net result is still untranslated stuff.
