This should be coordinated with the translators. Release team wise there
is little to decide, the technical risk for this change is very low,
aside from the already well-known fact that it breaks all translations.
There might be some mitigation possible by changing the msgid of all
existing translations upstream; that will make the translation slightly
incorrect, but at least not break them. Translators should still be
aware that they need to update the string then.

Title:
  String Freeze Exception for recommendations opt-in panel text

  In Progress
Status in “software-center” source package in Precise:

Bug description:
  We need to remove the word "anonymous" from the opt-in panel text, per
  mpt's comment #5 in bug 967064:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-
  center/+bug/967064/comments/5

  We need to do this because we currently require the user to have an
  SSO account and to be logged into it so that they can receive
  personalized recommendations. Given that, even though the list of
  uploaded packages is not tracked in any way, it is nevertheless not
  accurate to use the word "anonymous" in the opt-in text,

  The diff is very simple:
