I asked because I think the criteria is important for the decision.

I think this is a step more for the release script: exclude the files where 
some $criteria does not match some values (taken by a table). A function to  
compute the criteria for each language is the only part to be written. I think 
it's not more messy than other part of our infrastructure.

Because different languages may react differently to a mixed language 
application. As I said, it's already possible for translators to remove a 
language from the release with some tricks.


We can discuss at the Akademy, where more translators will be around, I guess.

Translators: please share your views, there have been only few answers (even 
if I suspect many people in the northern hemisphere could be on vacation now).
