[Steve Langasek <steve.langasek@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The requested freeze exception was granted for the FF version number
change and the new UbuntuOne slide; but I see that there are other
string changes that were not mentioned in the request. :/

However, the worst-case consequence of not having up-to-date
translations is that users will see a slide during the install that they
may not understand, which I don't think is terrible... and also not
worse than omitting the new slide entirely or shipping with
unclear/inaccurate information in some of the slides.  The slideshow is
effectively eye candy while the install is running, after all; while I
look forward to having this slideshow more completely translated and
more accessible for Lucid, I don't think this is anything translation
teams should be distracted by, given that there are much more important
things to get translated for release (i.e., all the bits that users
*need* to understand to be able to use their system).

As for the earlier idea to unfuzzy translations by updating the version
number, I see now that more than just the version number was changed, so
this isn't an option.

If the Ubuntu translators feel strongly about this, we can still
consider reverting the string changes for release.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu

We need a UI freeze exception for ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu 9, as it corrects the Firefox version shipped with 9.10 to be 3.5, not 3.0, and adds a slide for Ubuntu One, as requested.
