So? It is still valid in most part for 8.0. The parts that are not, won't
do any bad.

I was surpirsed not finding it there, actually, when everything else is
there. I need sometimes the French localized messages, that's why I
brought it up.

Guillaume?

(BTW, does a fr_CA version of it have a chance of being accepted? French
here (in Canada) is still a bit different with its own specifics.
Spelling-wise, the most notable difference is having CAPS with accents
where fr_FR normally doesn't have (for corresponding lowercase accented
letters) and spacing. Maybe a bit of terminology as well, but I don't have
an example handy). Of course, you can start making an argument of then
should we create en_BR, pt, es_MX, etc, but.. any comment?).
