Sure, this string does not belong in unity8. But that does not
necessarily mean it belongs in indicator-network. For example, we might
decide in future that the SIM unlock screen should have no indicators at
all. When switching on your phone, it would be annoying if you still had
to wait for indicator-network to start up, not because it was going to
appear yet, but solely because it contained some of the SIM unlock UI!

This reminds me of update-notifier on PC, which has outlived its UI for
five years now, because people inserted sundry unrelated code in there
in the belief that it would always be running.

I'm surprised to learn of the existence of "x-canonical-simpin", and I
have two followup questions.

1. After you enter the PUK code, you need to enter and then confirm a
new SIM PIN. If we decided to put those two PIN fields in the same
dialog, would that require code changes in unity8?

2. In the wi-fi prompt <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#wifi-
connecting-prompted>, the "Connect" button should change to "Connect…"
whenever the selected network is a secure one. Would that involve code
in unity8?

If the answer to those questions is yes, the problem here isn't just a
string.
