If we do adopt Pootle, I'd like to discourage teams from using  
alternatives to it.  If there are specific problems with Pootle in  
general, or our implementation in particular, it would be best if we  
could work with Cristobal and the Pootle devs to improve things.  This  
helps more free software benefit from our experience.

If it's really a problem, I suppose we could handle your team  
specially in the short term, using a bzr branch as you describe.

If your team has a workflow problem with Pootle, then I suspect other  
teams will have the same problems.  If we can't make Pootle attractive  
to all our teams then maybe Pootle isn't the answer for us.

Can you provide details on why you don't want to use it?
