Taking into consideration the list feedback, and some issues that came
up at the meeting, we agreed to accept this substantially modified text
during the blocker review meeting today:

"All critical path actions on release-blocking desktop environments
should correctly display all sufficiently complete translations
available for use"

this covers updating, and re-uses the existing critpath definition so
we're not re-inventing it. 'critical path actions' will be a link to the
critpath wiki page. I'll add this to the Final criteria shortly.
