Agreed, can we just merge the "String freeze" into the "The Freeze",
too? Because if you cannot change UI/features it is unlikely that
strings will change and if they do, as Shaun pointed out already, you
just sent a mail. I18n didn't block many strings the the last cycles and
it oftens gives us the oppertunity to fix the string (english, type,
whatever) before it is commited.
