Indeed, it happens the day of the Release Candidate, we got some IRC 
discussion around it and a member of the release team reviewed the 
upload + some extra testing from the QA team. Nobody of the 
documentation team was around and it was as you say, critical to get in 
for the RC (less than 24h deadline are always fun :)).

I took great care that we don't introduce in the dash some untranslated 
strings (stealing the strings from ubuntu-online-account 
gnome-control-center panel). It wasn't an option to not include it after 
checking with the legal team, even if that was meaning some screenshots 
and documentation slightly outdated (without breaking the main 
documentation understanding though).

Cheers,
Didier
