AFAIK there is no policy like "there shall be no new strings in bugfix
releases". The only thing localizers and Pootle maintaners ask, that
such change should be announced to them, so they have a chance to
catch-up. Of course it is desired that string changes in stable
branches should be minimal. But bugfixes can always be accepted.
