Yes, we went to a great deal of trouble to enable log translations,
so I'm surprised to see it being dropped to quickly.  I don't
necessarily disagree with the decision, because I know translator
time is limited. But it would be nice to have the discussion here,
instead of on a list most of the community isn't subscribed to, so
everyone involved can understand the reason for the change and so
the folks who asked for it originally can be included in the
conversation. As Sean points out, the policy change has a lot of
other implications about how logging is handled throughout the
applications.
