I can't but support this well proposed compromise, Andre. :-)

Now, Claude says the migration concerns only Evolution. That's very
true, but I've to add for the time being. Because who can guarantee that
tomorrow won't come with any other affected module's developer migrating
his/her piece to msgctxt? I think some official message towards the
developers regarding the start of the msgctxt migration is very much needed.
Not the still-only-a-proposal statement as it is now.
