Thanks for this.

It's good to state whether http://projects.davidplanella.org/stats/
would be deprecated for the time being,
or whether it can be updated so that it shows ubuntu-rtm/15.04.

In addition, there are some new language teams that are showing up and
want to be included in the list
of supported languages for the phone.
Is there a special step for a new language to be included in the phone
localisation?
