 > I hope in the future before someone in the core-committer decide to
 string freeze, re-check every new string that comes in. It's sad to see
 that the new Help tab/text is not properly polished. The patch is there
 but was too late.

 We generally freeze strings with an RC; because of help, we froze with
 RC2. Now we're in RC3, with the goal of releasing early next week. We
 freeze strings that way translators of the dozens of localizations have
 time to complete the process prior to the main release that way the
 internationalized users can ride the hype as well and upgrade with the
 rest of us. We already burdened the translators with both multisite and
 (on a smaller scale, but late in the game) help this cycle; they enable
 international adoption and we need to be respectful of their time-
 consuming and tedious process. That means only breaking strings when we
 need to. The strings are plenty polished.

 I meticulously and methodically reviewed the larger patch and chose the
 strings I felt we needed to add or change. None of the other suggestions
 in the patch are critical changes, or even fixing mistakes. Most are
 either style changes, due to our personal preference that we can handle in
 a future release, or Codex link changes, some of which are due to new or
 changed pages on the Codex or renamed screens in admin, which we can
 handle on the Codex side. I'd prefer that we're complete and correct, but
 we don't need to be perfect.
