May I suggest that templates that are not stable enough are unmarked
for translations?

Otherwise, it's pretty likely that some translators and|or teams
*will* work on them anyway, whicch would be the waste of time you
describe.


Indeed, I fail to see why stabilizing templates should take such a
long time or even take time at all. Either you think that users have
to be prompted through debconf and then you write templates and you
try to write them carefully from the beginning.....or you don't think
so and then you don't use debconf templates...:-)


Anyway, we certainly can't interfere with your development model. I
have sent a HOLD message to debian-l10n-english.
