Thanks for your reply! Speaking for myself, I'd prefer to wait until Poedit
can support the change. Just because of software; I don't know whether the
fact that the migration is still a proposal only really matters in relation
to Evolution. 

But surely other voices should be heard, too. I don't intend
to be solely anti-progress in any case. :-)
