Ok, but that branch also broke the message freeze. So we can't release it
within three weeks, because it will be somewhat broken for all non-english users.

Besides, if we release 2.1 before 2.0.1., we'll spend all our time explaining why :-)

Sure. Sorry - just thought it was misinformation.

I'd prefer if every developer that fixes a showstopper does it, instead of
relying on "some people". But such a commit needs to be reviewed and approved,
or obvious, and shouldn't risk to introduce more instability somewhere else.

Even if planned == December ?
