Yeah, I think 2.4 is more or less obsolete now, and that almost all
translation efforts should go into 2.5/2.6 now. I've ignored 2.4 myself
for the last round of updates that I've committed for other translators.

That being said, there is still a possibility for new bugfix releases of
2.4 modules, so keeping an eye on those stats for that reason is still
advised, especially if you've previously had 100% coverage on 2.4. Don't
want to have the last 2.4 release be incomplete for such a language that
previously had 100% coverage... ;-)

But for languages that haven't been anything near complete for 2.4, I'd
say the efforts are *much* better spent on translating 2.5/2.6 now, if
you aren't already.

CC:ing the release team to be sure, though.
