Revisiting the translation freeze policies

Greetings!

During Friday's FESCo meeting[0] we were asked to approve a change to
the release schedule to accommodate translation string freeze deadlines
that somehow got left out of the new "no-alphas" schedule.

Several participants pointed out that Fedora has not enforced the
"string freeze" in many years, despite it being on the schedule until
now. Thus, we would like to revisit the string freeze policy to
determine if it is still valuable, and if so, how can/should it be enforced?

We'd like to explore a couple of questions:

* What exact things are frozen? Things like comps make sense to follow
  Fedora freezes, but do things like anaconda? or system-config-printer?

* Can we automate some way of enforcing or at least detecting when
  something changes a string in the freeze?

This ticket tracks the issue:
