My opinion on breaking string freeze is as follows:

- no changes to non-visible strings (schemas, atk descriptions etc)
- approval needed for changing strings visible in the GUI (still not
recommended to do so of course)
- marking existing strings for translation is ok (this is probably the
most controversial one to some)

How do others feel about this?
