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.

If you are adding something that helps to encourage translation,
that is totally a different story, and I thought that perhaps the
rot13 stuff would be a good starting point for that.

But I do not think keeping the fixed "### GETTEXT POISIN ###" would
contribute to that very much.  Keeping a "framework" that does not
help to encourage translation and pretending that we have something,
and complaining about its removal, is the opposite of helping wider
translation.
