    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello Helen,<br>
      <br>
      Thanks a lot for sharing a string freeze exception request to
      openstack-dev mailing list.<br>
      <br>
      With @amotoki's comment [1] and the discussion on the last IRC
      meeting yesterday [2],<br>
      I18n team is fine and there will be no problem to accept the
      requests from I18n team's perspective.<br>
      <br>
      Note that String Freeze has been important for Docs & I18n
      team to acknowledge string freeze<br>
      status and take appropriate actions of what needs to be changed to
      documentation and translation activities if needed.<br>
      Since I18n team now more focuses on dashboard translations [1] and
      documents are being migrated [3],<br>
      I think the importance of string freeze for server projects (e.g.,
      cinder, nova, keystone, neutron) might<br>
      be less important than previous cycle(s), but sharing the status
      to all the teams including release management team<br>
      is a good idea to stay on the same page as much as possible :)<br>
      <br>
      <br>
      With many thanks,<br>
      <br>
      /Ian, I18n team Ocata PTL.<br>
