You mean the one that says
3. A sort of string freeze is put in place, so that the
translators can have a period of time where they can
work on the translations without having to duplicate work.
without explaining how this will be enforced? This certainly piques my
curiosity: how ARE you going to enforce a string freeze, when everywhere
else you've de-emphasized maintainer/translator collaboration to the
point that you won't know that a string has changed until the package
has been uploaded?
