The files in the languages/messages/ directory are quite big and currently altered every day. Yesterday, I had to bisect a bug and most of the delay was caused by fetching the languages files.
I use the git mirror at Github for bisecting, it works almost instaneously.
I do not understand the purpose of this daily update, does it serves any specific purpose? I do not feel like we require up-to-date translations in trunk.
In theory, it is possible to push l18n updates to live site using Ext:LocalisationUpdate, but I'm not sure if it is practiced these2 days due to huge lag between trunk and WMF cluster.
I have a similar issue with not so much edited extensions for which the log is mostly i18n translations thus hiding the real code commits.
Then CR should be fixed to allow more flexible filtering, not development process be pushed 5 years back.
