Sorry for the noise. I hope now everything will be just fine.

@qa
What about bugs closed as WONTFIX (like #403643 and #402307)? I suppose they should stay open (with needpatch? or whatever status) until some solution (like proposed here [1]) to the issue where its not-so-easy-to-fix is implemented?

Closing as WONTFIX won't solve the issue, just will hide it.

Given the recent developments regarding LINGUAS and the L10N USE_EXPAND, I'm not sure this tracker is relevant any longer.

Build systems are not required to support LINGUAS, and L10N is intended more for use-conditional distfiles.

Unwanted translations can be removed via INSTALL_MASK. In the future GLEP 69 might make this easier to manage.
