I agree wrt the noise/signal ratio problem of this thread, however there
seems to be consensus on at least one thing: this problem has to be
addressed on a fd.o level and afaik the discussion has been for now only
internal to GNOME.

IMHO any solution should not be rushed until we are sure that every fd.o
party will adopt it. If this means we'll miss the glib freeze for this
devel cycle, so be it. It just means that we'll have to keep "Desktop",
"Templates" and (if it is accepted) "Public" for another six months.

PS: since you still seem to favour the gettext approach, I would like to
at least see a response to the possible problems with that approach
which were pointed out after your initial proposal and that even Havoc
