Tim,

I understand what is the freeze for and of course have no intention to use a 
fait accompli while you're offline, so I can revert the change and beg 
Packagers for including the corrected version off their own hand.

But you've clearly wrote about not yet commited change, while I commited it 
tomorrow as early as it was possible, so reverting it would only increase the 
inconsistency you've said. So I still don't know your decision...

It's MUCH better I think. Robert has made a great effort providing the 
complete translation but unfortunatelly we have initially introduced some 
ugly and unclear terms to a further investigation. All Polish documentation 
will contain the corrected terms, so it's important to eliminate the ugly 
ones from the LTS version.

Believe me I wouldn't raise this issue and make this mess if it hadn't really 
critical! :) I know we all are busy enough.

Right, it was my fault :(
