AFAIK, the *only* program that can't manipulate LF files properly is
Notepad. I don't know any programmer who uses Notepad to edit code (even
for txt files, a lot of programmers I know use Notepad++ by default).
Any reasonable text editor that a Python programmer uses can edit LF files
without issue (and they usually have other gimmicks like syntax
highlighting, etc.), namely Notepad++, VSCode, PyCharm, Eclipse, etc.
Considering the two alternatives: (1) broken makemessages regardless of
what text editor you use, (2) working makemessages. I definitely vote for
LF-only.
When gettext finally fixes this (probably will take a while) we can revert
this workaround.
Another thing is that what matters is the *input* to gettext tools need to
be LF. I think the .po files (output which is editable by user) themselves
can still be CRLF (and I believe that's the default for gettext for
Windows). What matters is that django needs to ensure that whatever gets
processed by gettext needs to be forced first to LF.
