I've checked this out, and the net-email.page, net-problem.page,
net-security.page, and net-wired.page files are all guide pages. They just
serve to let other pages link into them, so that's why they look so bare.
They do have other files linking into them, so I've marked them as final.

The one file that remains as a stub is the unity-launcher.page file. This
file is an orphan - it doesn't actually link in anywhere, so I've removed
it.

I've reviewed my unread bug emails, and didn't spot anything in there that
seemed like a blocker at this point, so I think we should be ok to go ahead
with the hard freeze for the natty branch.

Should we propose an SRU at this point to fix a couple of outstanding bugs
that are marked as fix-committed, or should we wait until the translators
work their magic?

Jim
