 Taken from readme.txt:

 The problem with this approach is each new version of BuddyPress will need
 a new string translated. This makes achieving 100% localisation a
 continual battle.

 May I suggest amending readme.txt to something like this:

 Of course a new Codex page would need to be published with a list of links
 such as:

 https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-2-8-0/
 https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-2.7.4/
