Well, a few weeks ago, I explicitely asked in -i18n for translators to
at least ACK my call for updates:
-some did and updated their files since then
-some did and said they don't have time to complete the translations
(which is perfectly OK for me)
-but several completely ignored the request and just remained silent.
This is for these that I'm really worried. This release if the first
one for which I DO NOT send individual notices like I did before. Just
because this is becoming pretty unmanageable now.
For sure, all translators are aware that no string freeze was
scheduled...but I'm really deeply worried about those who didn't
answer at all, nor updated their files.
What if this release had been a major release? The result would have
been the same.....except that I couldn't have supported it and thus
been forced to send individual notices.

See above. I'm now convinced that not all translators read -i18n (at
the minimum the [D-I] messages) so I currently have NO reliable way to
reach them all.

And there are a bunch of these, yes.
