Personally If necessary I'm fine with the separate release including 
replacements for parts of kdelibs.

But sure it would be better to avoid that if possible.

I think the current algorithm works well for a few (single language)

a tweak to make it more lenient would indeed be beneficial.

For 3.2 I'm ok with the current, better safe than sorry approach.
