Comment (by boonebgorges):

 I can't speak to the scaling issues of GlotPress and the wordpress.org
 infrastructure, but they sound like serious issues. At the same time, I
 can't help but feel disappointed and frustrated that these points weren't
 raised earlier. DJPaul's initial patch for this ticket, which demonstrated
 the basic method, was posted here months ago, and progress on the ticket
 has been announced publicly many times in dev chat and on bpdevel.

 Responding to nacin re `load_plugin_textdomain()`. I think the reason we
 haven't used it in the past is because we don't ship our translations
 along with BP, and we actively encourage people to store them in wp-
 content/languages. `load_plugin_textdomain()` with its deprecated
 $abs_rel_path param, does not make it obvious how to support this setup. I
 could only make it work by walking up the directory tree in
 $plugin_rel_path. See 4857.05.patch. Am I right that this is the only way
 to make `load_plugin_textdomain()` load .mo files from wp-
 content/languages?
