This does not seem right. "Reports" implies that it only shows data. Moving 
"Update" there is not what the user would expect from reports. Reports are 
static, displayable. Update is dynamic, it is action in the background.

We do it from time to time when editors do not work for a certain period of 
time. It happens quite often.

Wrong link.

I see a danger in it. Since we cannot change old versions, it means that we 
will have to keep two translation server around:
- for translating extensions in LLXML format for TYPO3 4.5 (which is LTS!)
- for translating extensions in XLIFF format

Also any extension that uses XLIFF become incompatible with earlier TYPO3 
versions.

No idea how to solve that.
