Hey Daniel, I don't want to distract you from your research too much, but perhaps there is something you can clarify for the rest of us that are trying to assess all this too ...

But it's been brought to my attention that the latest version of poedit advertised here: http://www.poedit.net/ Actually works perfectly well with wx2.6, which the upstream author told you here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=457157 And you only apparently keep that bug open because some proposed future version _may_ require 2.8. If all this is a genuine reflection of the current state of affairs, then please do close the fixed bug report, that isn't blocked by any wx bugs at all, nor has it ever been, to avoid actually confusing people more. Then if you and the poedit upstream (who also has direct commit access to the wx upstream repo), really do come up with some new killer feature in some future release, we can weigh that honestly against what we are really missing without 2.8 at present. There are some people with genuine needs, and a lot still backporting really important fixes to their 2.6 releases. If I have to sort the real claims from the astroturf, this isn't going to get done _faster_ than if we put some Good Data into the calculation to begin with.
