DDTP statistics and Translation-xx.bz2 files

[Martin Eberhard Schauer <Martin.E.Schauer@gmx.de>]

Hi,

there are some things that I don't understand:

- There are translation statistics for etch, lenny, squeeze, wheezy and 
sid (1).
  Etch is archived and not actively maintained. Although there is the 
possibility
  that a new translation for some package may be effective for former 
releases,
  I don't understand the need for the etch statistics.
- Lenny is still maintained, but the last lenny statistics update was at
  22-Jul-2011. The update for etch was abandoned, too.
- There are no post-release updates for the Translation~ files. However, 
at least
  the most active translation teams still increase the number of 
translations for
  stable and oldstable. Why can't there be new Translation~ files for 
point releases?

Martin
