If you are adding something that helps to encourage translation, that is totally a different story, and I thought that perhaps the rot13 stuff would be a good starting point for that. But I do not think keeping the fixed "### GETTEXT POISIN ###" would contribute to that very much. Keeping a "framework" that does not help to encourage translation and pretending that we have something, and complaining about its removal, is the opposite of helping wider translation.
