Just for the record.

I don't think adding unmarked strings or adding missing files in
POTFILES.in counts as breaking the string freeze. I actually think this
should be done ASAP at any time in the release process because the only
think it affects is making it possible to localise these strings.

So, it might wreck the status for the people who have 100% there, but
this is just a bunch of numbers anyway :-)

Having a desktop that is 100% localisable is more important than having
100% in the statuspage IMO.
