Hi,

Apparently I had my IMAP folders + filters all messed up and I thought I didn't 
receive this email at all, and discussed this with Alexandre privately based on 
the ML archives... so summing up here the conclusion.

As clarified to Alexandre, frogr is not a core GNOME App and doesn't follow 
GNOME 6-month schedule, just a simpler "release when its ready" policy, along 
with its own release numbers (1.4 the latest one). As such, and considering 
it's such a small application with little development happening, it's a bit 
overkill to do a gnome-3-30 branch to deal with this and instead I'll simply 
keep the change in master and include it in the next stable release whenever it 
happens (in the next weeks, hopefully).

It's true that's a bit too quick for a non-code app to adopt this change, but I 
have no clue of when I'll have time to do it in the future, so I rather release 
it sooner than later :-).

As mentioned to Alexandre, being a native Galician & Spanish speaker who also 
speaks English and a bit of Portuguese (and even very little French), combined 
with the fact that it was such a simple string to fix, I thought it would 
qualify as a "trivial change" and went ahead precisely to avoid bothering those 
i18 teams.

But, as Alexandre wisely pointed out, that has other problems such as skipping 
the normal workflows and risking a worsened QA process, so I think it was wrong 
for me to do it and I openly apologize for that. Thanks Alexandre for pointing 
it out.

Thanks everyone!
Mario
