Ok. Don't worry :_
I just wanted to share this with you to see if this is a real problem or
not.

When the POTemplates API will be in production I should be able to
create a script for monitoring all POTemplates changes and by this to
catch some of the sting freezes that  were committed and not announced.

Other than that, I don't know how we can monitor such changes.

OK. If it's going to happen this Thursday please announce it one or two
