Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Removing older versions of strings from pootle

Hi,
I have to remind that we're in a situation that we only have one
legacy branch. Sooner or later, we will have multiple versions of LibO
strings available on pootle, that not only make the workspace crowded,
but downloading zip folders and operations like this on them, make
pootle slow.
When pootle can't do things in parallel, we can partition the job
logically and put it on multiple servers to gain speed up. So, Why not
setup a pootle instance for legacy strings? All the previous versions
can go there so everyone that needs them can still use it without
switching to a new traslating interface.
Migeration would also be easy. MySQL tables and files are copied to
the server that holds legacy files.
On the other hand, an upgrade on the current version, keeps everything in place.
Anyway, someday in near future we'll have to remove older versions, so
why not create a guideline for the lifecycle of those old strings and
keep them in a good place?
