That's it. No releases, no new translations, no updates. Translation of master 
is a waste of time (?).

"If you didn't come to party, then why did you come here?" (Jarvis Cocker)

That's too bad. I've tried to complete GNOME translations (master and "stable" 
branches) through almost 1.5 years but just a quick glance on LP shows the 
discrepancy for the "old good applications" with "stable" branch with no new 
releases. With no regular release system (like KDE releases), translating 
these GNOME applications is just a waste of time.

Just my 2 cents.

Best regards,
Yuri
