Does the rollback plan include also troubles or problems or bad feedback from
translators? The plan only says:

"The only exception are the translations. These will continue to happen via
subversion, but this will use the gitolite software as backend, in any case,
this will result in only minor changes for translators."

Can you please elaborate more about those changes? I haven't seen no
discussion on the relevant mailing list. I miss last Akademy as well, so maybe
it was discussed there, but it would be better to know what's going on before
it's too late
