Well, the fact that there's no more GNOME 2.22.x release doesn't mean
there won't be any new gnome-backgrounds 2.22.x release (although I'm
the first one to admit that there won't be any new gnome-backgrounds
2.22.x release ;-)). I can also think of distributors who will download
translations from trunk thinking they'll get translations for 2.22 while
they'll get translations for 2.23...

So a stable branch is still welcome.
