Re: String & UI Freeze break request for GNOME Shell

Users can use dconf-editor to rename folders, but that would make for

a terrible user experience. Renaming folders is critical to managing app

folders from GNOME Shell.

I really shouldn’t. That is my point actually. A freeze request should
clearly explain from the start what the benefits and risks are, so
that we coordinators can make a well-informed decision. The easier you
make it for us, the more likely we are to give you a quick approval.

Thank you, that is important information. Would the user have a
fallback mechanism to do it in that case? As it is, the risk of not
merging it doesn’t seem that high to me and we are getting late so I’m
leaning towards not granting you the exception for 3.34, but approving
for a merge right after 3.34 is out so we have time to translate it
for 3.34.1.
