Oh bleeding heck, I've been proofreading the wrong version all this 
time? Can I at this point say that LP is *really* useless for 
translators who are not plugged into some kind of Matrix-esque newslink. 
How many of these non-active version are there? How many people are 
still working on them because that's the page they bookmarked when they 
started?

Has anyone ever thought of sticking an automatic note on them saying 
"This is not the latest version, you should focus on [link]"??? 
Seriously... I'm half minded to just chuck it all in and tell people to 
use Windows. Just because translators on open source projects are as a 
rule not paid does not mean their time is not worth anything.

Yes, I'm bitching but think about it. I've stuck weeks of proofreading 
into some outdated version due to a lack of *obvious* information and a 
naming convention which means something to non-developers (raring, 
oneiric... yeah, I'm sure they sound cool - how about something that 
tells me something useful like 13.10 or 12.06=)...
