It is still only a proposal, for all modules.

Hmm. Matthew, please take into consideration that
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/MsgctxtMigration is only a suggestion
right now. I know I suggested it in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249844, but using msgctxt in
Evolution right now may alter Evolutions dependencies on glib, gettext
and intltool, and you should probably be clear that with Evolution
maintainers first. If you want to play it safe in this regard, Q_ is
still the safest way (albeit error prone to translators). That being
said though, we would be very happy if Evolution really wants to be
the first module to use msgctxt and the C_ macro.
