Well, then I misunderstood the thread. So please, could this what I
might call, say, a discreditable situation be make an official GNOME goal
finally? Because the migration is already happening for some time, and the
warning notice seems like a confirmation that the current i18n team work
is, with all due respect, weak, irresolute, and generally gives
inconvincible results. Thus please, any senior member, do something with
that. Thanks.
