I was actually without my home Internet connection for more than four
days, so I had trouble both reading and responding to my mail during
that time. That's the primary reason for the lack of reply from me. And
when I got the connection back, the change seemed harmless enough, and
the cat had of course been out of the bag for quite a while already...

But for the future, please always ask for permission during string
freezes, both from the release team and the translators. Please don't
take any chances.
