In addition, we need to consider the interests of translators, who need some time before a release to translate new and changed messages without bulk changes (e.g. removing %H from messages as part of changing to use functions with explicit location parameters) invalidating the translations. I plan to regenerate the .pot files and submit the next trunk snapshot to the TP; after that, we should avoid bulk changes to translated strings until after 4.4 branches. -- Joseph S.
