Priorities and time it requires to update the actual process. It's not just
changing the handling of the tree of files, it's also make sure we don't
ship translations with enough content and have it in a transparent way for
each platform.
For now, it's a script that fetch the po files and only take in account the
good ones, we make a release tgz and we use it on all platforms.
With this change, all the po will already be there (even the ones we don't
want to ship) so we need to ensure at build time that the languages we
don't want won't be in packages.

Regarding the actual stable branch, even if we don't plan to make releases,
it will still mean the new po files will be added in git so we need to
ensure it does not break the actual flow in this branch or ship unwanted
files.

So yes, the work to do is defined, the available time, less.

It will probably be done on time but the aim of this thread was to give
opinions (big +1 on the idea) and comments (there is work to do, it's worth
it but not free).

Cheers,

Johnny
