[wp-polyglots] Locale Directory Structure

[K Suominen]

I'm not sure I understand what the benefit was from this, Morgan.  We
don't have a centralized packaging system yet, as far as I can tell,
so there was no need to do this unilaterally without consulting with
me.

The only result from the "re-organizaition" is that the tools I
contributed no longer work, and my own automation between my CVS repo
and the SVN repo is broken.

I tend to think I'm a reasonable person who can work together with
other people.  I don't find the "Kim, you'll have to update your
makefiles" a co-operative approach.  Any particular reason why you
decided there should be no discussion with me, the maintainer of that
part of the repository?

Regards,
+ Kim
