Yes - you essentially want Infra to agree to/"approve" something that we 
don't even know that people want to try out, because still to this day I 
do not see anything on trans@ even asking if they are remotely 
interested in this. My opinion here, but I think it would be wise to let 
this drop until that happens, and once it does, and a group from trans@ 
is actually interested and wanting to try this out, a new thread can 
open at that point.

Right now, you're asking Infra to devote resources to a project that we 
don't even know that the core group using it will even want to try. 
There is a translation solution in place, and I've not seen anyone list 
problems with that one that Zanata solves.

The point is, going back and forth on this without several things 
happening is pointless:
1) See if there is any interest in trans@
2) If such a group forms, have them compile a list that clearly states 
what Zanata solves that TX (our current solution) does not.
3) At that point, it would probably be safe to open a new thread here, 
including that list, and seeing if it's worthwhile to pursue this.

Until those things happen, this is seemingly just going to go back and 
forth without anything happening. Multiple people from infra have 
mentioned what needs to happen for this to go any further, and I see no 
one taking those steps.

As Mike strongly hinted a few emails back, please let this one drop 
until that happens.
