I wish we could stop pushing TWN updates as code commits. I'm getting tired of trying to look through an extension's log for changes and having to sort through it where 3/4 of the commits are TWN updates.
Someone mentioned an idea at one point of having only English in core (as the source for translations) and then pulling localization updates in with some script, part of building the tarballs would be pulling in the localizations and bundling them.
That might be me, or at least I have the same concern about logs specially when bisecting changes.
Much like we moved extension out of core, we might want to have translations moved out too. We do not really need 0day translations for day to day MW hacking.
Having all translations (core+ext) in one repository will makes life easier for the translation team and developers maintaining their extension outside of our repository will be able to take advantage of the translation system.
To update live site, we will just have to fetch the change from that repository and merge that to the wmf branches. To release a new tarball, we could fetch the latest revision from the translation repository.
