Updating translation statistics page shouldn't be problematic. However,
there is a more fundamental question that I want to ask: should gedit
translation
name be versioned at all? Usually, translation domain are versioned because
they have to coexist with other older/newer version in the same system, like
gtk 1.x and 2.x. Testing CVS doesn't count since development version is expected
to be installed into another prefix, so there is no filename conflict.

But for applications like gedit, installing 2 versions (say 2.6.x and
2.8.x) seems
to be unreasonable, except during the very old days when people install
GNOME 1.x and 2.0 together.

PS I'm not quite sure where this discussion should go, can move to d-d-l or
gedit-list when needed.
