With "we" I referred to the python-dev/i18n-sig team. Since these
things are all based on concensus not necessarily all members of
those teams will have or have had the same opinion.

Speaking only for myself: I would very much appreciate if you would
stop throwing these meta-comments into discussions we have on this
list.
