With all of the other bugs that I've been getting in the past week, I've just been thanking the person who reported the bug, and letting them know it would be fixed in the 9.10 release. Also, with this particular bug report (which came from a translator), the person indicated that they had already made the correction in their translated string. Of course, not all translators may have made such an adjustment. In short, though, I wouldn't have pushed this up to Jaunty without the initial prompting, and without feeling that not fixing the bug could lead to a fair amount of confusion for users. Next time I'll bring something like this up on the mailing list before pushing it through, at such a point in time though. If you or anyone else feels that the change should be reverted at this point (or at least not pushed out with the shipped release), let me know. Thanks, all.
