I think that developers is a usergroup that it would be impolity not to include in the group we mentally consider as "ordinary users" worthy og our attention :) . Considering that at present there is a big difference between the user group composition that GNOME and the GNU/Linux community _would like to have_ (Mr. and Mrs. Olsen that need email, multimedia and internetbrowsing) and the usergroup composition that we actually have (geeks that want IRC, youtube and programming).
I think some measure of what we call a supported languge is a good thing. And my own personal opinion is that it should, just as it does now, include the UI translations for everything that is in the GNOME realeases. I fully understand the ones of you that have problems with limited resources, we do too in the Danish team. However it is my experience that we can _maintain_ the UI translations with as little as two people (three is more comfortable) who work only in their sparetime, and still has a socilalife. The problem offcourse is actually getting there, making the >80% so that you only need to do maintenence. But maybe just a litlle patience will do. Maybe if you announce for translators one or two more will show up and the you have a whole other situation.
