I wouldn't be so sure of this.  POFile:+translate fix would take
considerate effort or a visit to a mental institution after enough
exposure to POFile:+translate view code.

I am not sure how many of the timeout bugs we have of the sort, but I'd
say that fixing POFile:+translate so it scales reasonably well is an
effort of more than one engineer month.

Actually, even though many of Translations OOPSes are old and hard to
get by (i.e. sometimes only rosetta admins can trigger them), they are
usually still relevant.

With this I agree, and that's why I agree we should keep them
'Critical'.  Among other OOPSes and timeouts, I think POFile:+translate
page should be fixed and I think it should be something maintenance
teams should take on very soon now (apart from being a performance and
maintenance nightmare, it also stops any easy improvements to the page
itself).

Agreed.
