 Just to emphasize both of these points: adding translations is
 something that I think would be perfect for a .x release.  There is no
 risk to anyone not using the translation, and the only real risk to
 those using the translation is of wrong messages, not wrong code
 generation.
 
 I'd be much more nervous about reworking diagnostic.c for the
 dot-release, so we should do that now, if we can.
 
 My goal is for the dot releases to contain sufficiently minor tweaks
 that it will be easy to have high confidence.
