Dear release team, Yeah, I know: l10n uploads shouldn't be allowed anymore. I concur with this stance and fully understand it.
Still, I'd like to ask for one very very very last exception fot tzdata. Indeed, the last upload added a few debconf-translatable strings (timezone names) without any concertation with l10n teams. I don't really blame tzdata maintainers as I fully understand the need to have a timely update for this package. Which is why I didn't scream out and yelled when the unblock request was sent. Unfortunately, while we were having a shiny nice 100% translation ratio for 7 languages.....we now have a less nice 99%....:-) This 100% was a result of a very hard work by l10n coordinators and a great reward to translators' work. It may sound as futile but, eh, that's also part of communication. So, immediately after I noticed that, I sent a call for translation updates and most translators reacted very quickly. Thus, indeed, we could very very very easily cook up an update of this package, with a very easily readable debdiff and bring our 7 languages back to 100% and a nice smile on our faces. So, if asked with all that sugar on top, do you think you would consider this very unique exception? --
