We have to change it, because it IS for the good of the fedora project.

There are lots of packages that have not been rebuild since Test1 with
translation : one stricking example : system-config-printer

This is a major config tool, this is not an understandable situation for
me, and it IS very frustrating. 
What kind of image are we going to show to the French community, that i
have advertised about the well going of fc6 translations (fc5 was not
well translated at all in french)?

They will openly ask me, "what's the matter with system-config-tool" ?
what have you been doing ? Should I explain that the Fedora Project
failed somewhere ?
