Hey Sebastien, Gunnar, As a clarification for why I also considered this being relatively safe: I wrote a really simple sanity-checker script that compares the new base pack set against the previous one, listing any dropped .po files and if any shrunk suspiciously below a set threshold. Since the biggest worry when doing base refreshes is that some language-packs might simply be generated wrongly or even empty. This gives a little bit extra confidence in refreshing all languages. There's always risk, but I think this way might be more beneficent to the whole ecosystem. Let's see how it works out!
