True, but we are dealing with people and must allow some mistakes. If
reverting the strings is done only to make an example, then it's
beginning to get silly, IMHO.

Perhaps it shouldn't, but it was for me. I deleted the old strings
since I realised that the Zip shows up in the UI as the program name
(that's really awful). Fixing this again is not exactly a big task,
but still seems silly.
