I'm not sure we want this handled as "easy hacks". The goal was to enable the checks always for the 
build. Is this implemented and can I enable it?

My preferred solution would be, that generating the error files in the current build wouldn't break 
it, but spill the errors to the console to annoy people, to get this fixed in time. Mind I have no 
ideas about the amount of output / the current state.

If everything is fixed, we can change it to actually break the build. This is a different category 
then translating German comments!

We can talk about this tomorrow on ESC, if the ML is not sufficient.

So who would be responsible to fix it? If we don't test it on patch submission and break on error, 
it would just pile up again.
