Sure in other cases a locale site at wordpress would be a benefit, but
in case of automatic updates it doesn't really matter. It could easily
be checked against SVN. I think this should be up to the language teams
to decide. Lets say the update checks the locale site first, if nothing
there the SVN is checked.

well organized ;)
In the matter of finding language files for first time users I think as
long as there is no drop down, flags or other direct links on the first
page of wp.org, users tend to use other means to find the information
directly in their native language, instead of browsing around on a site
in a language maybe not so familiar. (This has been pointed out to me a
bunch of times by our Swedish portal members)
If reorganized to make it easier to find on wp.org I'll be sure to
reconsider a locale site. As is now, I still can't see the point, more
than as an _extra_ reference.

Ok, my point here is that this is supposed to be an *automatic update
service* for the users. Where in this do the extra site help if the
users never gonna visit it anyway. In that case why not just check
SVN directly like a extra site would for the update?
Sure it can be a good reference point but not for an _automatic_
update! Just some sort of middleman. Or am I missing something here?
Do you still need to manually download the language file from a page?
I think the point is that by having the site there is a process for
publishing the zip file which includes the translated files and there
is a place for new users to find a translation of WordPress when they
visit wordpress.org
BTW - It would be nice to have a page on the main wordpress.org site
which linked to all the hosted I18N sites which I wanted to do from my
recent blog post [1]
