Get rid of "GETTEXT_POISON" support altogether, which may or may
not be controversial.
I'm waiting on SZEDER'S feedback on [1], ditto the last What's
Cooking[2]. Also as noted in [2] the "do we keep GETTEXT_POISON at all"
question.
How about we just remove it and see if people who love it will come out
of the woodworks, the patches aren't going to be hard to revert...
Yeah, why not ;-)

I'll give you a reason. We're not really strong on the inclusion front,
and translations are one thing that we actually do right on that end.
Removing even the scant testing of translated messages that we do have
strikes me as the opposite of improving the situation.
Sadly, I won't have the time to pursue my GETTEXT_POISON effort further,
at least not in the short run, and y'all seem to be bent on making that
effort futile anyway.
So yeah, why not ;-)
Ciao,
