[cc-devel] i18n/ directory in liblicense - does it do anything?

First of all, huge thanks to Jason for getting me down the right path to 
finding a bug I introduced two weeks ago.  I noticed the bug due to 
testing the license chooser, and he helped me a great deal by (a) 
confirming I'm not insane, and (b) suggesting the two places the bug might 
have been.

I'm getting ready to ship liblicense 0.6, now with support for more 
metadata than just the license (particularly, with support for the Web 
Statement), and I wanted to ask Jason (or if others know, I'm happy to 
hear more views):

What is the purpose of the i18n/ directory in the source tree?  It seems 
to not be shipped in the tarball that gets shipped by 'make dist', and we 
already have a po/ directory for liblicense translations as necessary; and 
the license files themselves have all their descriptive information in 
them in all the supported languages.

As far as I can tell, there is no purpose to it, so I won't add it to make 
dist, and I won't ship it in 0.6, and if no one complains soon I will 
remove it from the development tree.
