Re: [Libreoffice] [PATCH] Translate German comments and correct some English ones

Okay, won't do this then for Philipp's translations. Anyway, what
constitutes a [very old comment], would that be anything before 2001?

From Philipp's message:

That's interesting. How do you determine that..? By seeing that there
is a "conversation" in the comments (original comment > second comment
about a change in behaviour)? Or because pointers to bugs are usually
added later on when the product is already released? Or by some other
means?


> Maybe a "FIXME: Old comment" would be a good heads-up?

I'm almost sure, not all our old code is bad, so there is probably a
need to fix /all/ of it.

I'm not a fan of excessive punctuation, so I would just convert this
to "Attention!"/"Caution!"/"Warning!", whatever seems appropriate.
