What are you going to do with string freeze breakages?  I.e. if you
ship a tarball which has "_Borwse", and it's later fixed in CVS and
translations are updated, this is going to end up untranslated, right? 

Following the schedule goes three ways: it helps maintainers, it helps
translators and it helps distributors.

Current roadmap[1] lists nothing but 2.10.1 which has already been
released.
