How is this a problem exactly? Old branches are most probably not going to
see a release and translations brought to them would then never reach the
user. *That* would indeed be wasted work. On the rare occasion where you
know that a given old branch will have a release, you can still find it, as
you pointed out.

Translations and Damned lies are not a completionist game where the goal is
to have 100%, even on past releases. Old releases may not be fully
translated, and that is fine.
