@Jeremy: That would be quite some work. And please note that avoiding
the metainfo.its file shipped with some appstream{,-glib} binary should
be considered a temporary fix, i.e. the file will sooner or later
replace the older equivalent in the gettext package.

After I had filed the appstream issue, they made a change so you can opt
out from extracting <release/> strings:

https://github.com/ximion/appstream/commit/51ab4f32

So in the GNOME Software issue I proposed that we should opt out all
over, but the maintainer let me know that the strings will be shown in
Software as from GNOME 41, so he didn't let me 'hide' the latest
strings.

At the same time: Here is the attitude from the l10n.gnome.org folks:

lies/-/issues/149#note_532339

And here we sit downstream and see that GNOME disagrees with GNOME. :(
