Then maybe, given the timing, there could have been other options with less
risks, for example:
- revert the feature that led to this problem;
- inform the release team as soon as it was clear that a freeze-breaking
change was needed, before merging, maybe asking for a delay in the final tag.

Of course it's always possible to do better, but if you decide to revert the
commit, I'd kindly ask to wait at least two days after the first scripty run
before tagging the final version of dolphin, in order to give some time to
translators.
