If we're going to drop TDH from official release, it makes sense.  We
could move it to the download server, for example.

But maybe we could provide more support for 3rd-party campaigns, like
a CVS module.  That may help to coordinate work on these, to get them
in shape for official endorsement.

Why should we ?  We could instead use such criteria for advertising
translations, and/or maybe to tag them as "complete" i=or "incomplete"
in the selection dialog, but I do not think we should stop shipping
the other ones.  It would IMHO harm the project, by letting
translators think we do not value their work.

OTOH, having such a thing like an "official translation" label may
encourage teams to reach this goal, much like isaac's stat page create
a friendly competition to get to 100% - which is maybe a distant goal
nowadays because of the amount of work to get there, so I would
welcome a more reasonable goal.

Eg, we could have a new view in the stats page about those "core
translations", and this should maybe become the default view, instead
of "all official domains".
