Aleix,

I know. I asked about the suggested approach to skip version bumping
when there were no commits in a framework, not about the current
approach to releasing KF5.

If we are going to recognize translation updates, framework releases
will be needed every month in 99.9% of cases because translations are
much more volatile due to the large number of supported languages.
