Hi guys,
I've decided to stop spamming r-t and gnome-doc-list with this.

Let me play your part in this drama:
It would be very sad to see untranslated labels in a shipped desktop
knowing that it could have been stopped.
It's not about "only two strings", it's about 100 modules x "only two
strings" x 50 language translations. And it's about being predictable
("ok, I need to translate this, I have time today, lets finish it,
it's a string freeze so it can't change").
Do we have to explain why is there a string-freeze over and over again?
The easiest indication that something is not important enough is that
it was present in our previous release cycle as well, and that it had
a bug reported on it in Bugzilla long before string freeze started.
This was not my call, it was the call of maintainers and users!
I understand your frustration, but that's why Gnome is on a 6-month
release cycle. Look, it will be fixed in the release slated for
September, 2006: that's only 7 months from today (what other software
this complicated can you plan that much ahead for?).
Cheers,
Danilo
