Yeah, right. The chances for introducing breakage by trivial changes
is *huge*, because the maintainer tends not to test it sufficiently,
*because* it's trivial. And yes, I've been guilty of this.
A pure text change might be acceptable, but then a pure text change is
unlikely to be significant enough to justify "high".

You should wait the extra day, let the existing version go into testing,
and then upload the updated translations.
