After giving a deeper look at the schedules in Fedora and Ubuntu,
looks like we can land fixes that imply string changes, as their
freezes don't apply to Sugar.

For Ubuntu, it was clarified some minutes ago:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserInterfaceFreeze?action=info

For Fedora, the string freeze only applies to software for which
Fedora is upstream:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/StringFreezePolicy

So maybe we should take this chance and add some strings for 0.84.1?
