Thanks.  "A new string we added since v2.7.0 that is not marked for
i18n" is a new i18n bug and "a string that used to be marked is not
marked when the code was rewritten since v2.7.0" is an i18n
regression, and we would want to "fix" both post -rc0 period.  The
patches that touch new strings added since 1.7.x are exactly that ;-)

We'd still want the fixes to apply on top of relevant topics if we
could, as the fix to the topic itself (with or without i18n fixes),
when we discover that it has a huge flaw not desirable in v2.8.0,
might be to revert the whole thing, though.

Also we need to get an Ack from the authors of commits we added in
this cycle that these patches fix i18n bugs they introduced and make
sure there is no "this i18n mark is not appropriate as it is a
plumbing output (or protocol messsage) that should not be
translated" response from them.  It won't be like I apply these
blindly today and ask translators to start working.

Let's queue this and start cooking; I see you never To'ed the guilty
party that introduced i18n bug/regression to each of your patch, but
can you start pinging them to collect Acks?

Thanks.
