Yes, let's keep the releases about every three months. This is a fair
compromise between being strictly up-to-date and a comfortable
workflow for both translators and downstream packagers.
The recently imported Italian translations should be disabled for the
time being. I've written to Marco Curreli that after completion of the
import, maybe in a few weeks, the next release then will include the
Italian translations. Until then we have to solve a problem: Although
not visible at the project page, the version 5.06 of manpages-it has
been released. It is available from Bitbucket [1], and at least Mageia
has already updated the package to this version. This means, to get a
proper upgrade path, we need to update manpages-l10n to a version
number greater than 5.06, or force downstream packagers to use »Epoch«
mechanisms.

The package manpages-l10n-4.0.0 is already in Fedora Rawhide, based on
a Git checkout. But it is far from being complete. That time, our
package list was not up-to-date, and there were some problems with
involving the Fedora man pages in the update mechanisms. Should be
solved now.
