[Freeciv-Dev] Re: GNU gettext 0.10.35 and the header entry.

[Thue <thue@xxxxxxx>]

Maybe we should just remove the fuzzy bits and let the freeciv CVS users/beta 
testers find any bugs? I don't think that would be unreasonable.

But if you really want to ask someone who knows, I guess the author Bruno 
Haible <haible@xxxxxxx> would be a good bet.

You decide.
