We implemented it before upstream did, I think.  That caused the divergence.

I used to ship pt_BR translations in the package, and our l10n team could
translate the templates if we asked them to and made them aware of the
templates (since they're not gettext/autopoint stuff).  The lang/ way of
doing things used to make it MUCH easier to handle l10n updates.

But I certainly don't object to switching to whatever upstream does in
2.7.0, as long as it doesn't make it impossible to deal with when you
actually use it or distribute l10n files.

l10n'd notifications are a killer feture.
