Well, it is the current policy and there was no discussion on kde-i18n-doc to 
drop it (yet?).

One reason for having it is to catch early problems of i18n/l10n in 
applications. However I am not sure how much this is useful compared to the 
effort needed by Scripty to extract, merge etc. Also the counter-example of 
KGeography showed that it did not work (as much as kdereview did not work).

Personally I am not sure anymore what to do about it (unlike months/years ago 
when I thought it was clearly useful). The major problem is tracking moves of 
applications, as translations should be moved too, which is mostly not done 
in practice (especially kdereview to "final" module.)

Have a nice day!
