Yes, sorry, I've moved it to the fifth-toe section now.

intltool is indeed a hack, but it isn't a hack for the fun of producing
hacks. It's there because there is a real, practical and pressing need
for a tool that does what intltool does in the translation process.

Unless you're offering to write a better replacement that does all that
intltool currently does in a better way, or are volunteering to
contribute to intltool to improve it¹, I *strongly* suggest you do what
virtually all other GNOME modules do and use the current intltool right
away.

¹ Which would be great, but still you should most likely use the current
intltool in the mean time in regexxer.
