Yep, you're right. The string freezes haven't really been super
strictly honored lately, I think when we get the new operation
architect role filled that might be something they can push on.

For this cycle it's kind of difficult because webUI is still being
worked on. I believe all the major work is done, but there can still be
cases where for instance we (QA team) find a bug and it turns out to
need a new string. I don't think there is a formal deadline; we should
probably have considered this in the Change proposal.

This is what the software string freeze is meant to be (AIUI), but
again, it seems to be less enforced lately. I remember a few years ago
it seemed to come up a lot more often...

For F39 the software string freeze date was July 25:
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-39/f-39-all-tasks.html
which, uh, clearly didn't happen. I'll definitely bring this up with
Matthew as something for the operations architect to look at.

Oh yes, the amount of new translation work needed *now* is a lot, for
sure - what I meant is hopefully it shouldn't change too much *more*
between now and Final.
