Both branches pulled; I found it somewhat iffy to *add* new language support
on the maintenance track, but decided to let it pass this time.

A new lang.po file is very unlikely to introduce regression to anybody
else, so it probably is OK.

Objection.

Jan "jast" Krüger and me had most of the following "in the works", and
couldn't get it shaped up before the pull request went out.  Any
translation mistakes are mine, we drafted it in German.

To put it bluntly, we have significant concerns with your translation so
far.  That's usually not a problem in OSS -- release early and release
and release often -- but the maint release would require you to get it
Right(tm) the first time.

While I can understand your frustration and trust you enough to believe
the issue you are raising for the *.po contents that were merged are very
real, it is too late for this round. What happened has happened already.

Sorry about that.

But I have to be able to trust that such differences are resolved between
the i18n coordinator and the l10n teams before a pull request comes to me.
That's the only way we can scale the process.

Of course now that it has been released, we'll also have to file patches
in the true open source spirit.  Sigh.

There is nothing to "Sigh" about.  Mistakes happen, and we learn from it.

Thanks.
