So, since then, I think a follow up review did go through with the same 
effect - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/16414/

At this point, log messages are basically all translated. There was 
never an official decision either way as far as I can remember, but 
their is now defacto precedence that they are.

So we should either declare that to be the official stance (which would 
be basically, accept the status quo), or someone should write a patch 
that reverts them all to untranslated.

Once a decision is made either way, we should probably put in a gating 
job to enforce the behavior we want so that we don't end up with things 
landing or getting kicked because of the day of the week they get 
submitted. :-)
