I thought it was going to be committed sooner, relative to the freezes,
but then the freezes ended up being a lot sooner than I had been thinking.

As for committing every once in a while, that wouldn't have helped; the
earlier stages diverged from 2.22 even more. Most of the work involved
was getting the new Locations.xml.in to be *more* like the old
Locations.xml.in, except in the places where the old Locations.xml.in
sucked.

Sorry, I'd been under the impression that we already *had* come to an
agreement (after no one responded to my last message).

Most of the translators have not participated in this thread, so I don't
have a sense if this is "a few translators want the changes reverted" or
"most of the translators want the changes reverted". I guess if it's the
latter then maybe that's a different story.
