This is an interesting idea.  So for that kind of thing (help screens)
we would require a very high percentage in order to include it with the
bundle (say 90%), but it would be a very small catalog so easy to
translate; and for other things, say the bulk of server messages, we
would require a lesser percentage in order to be included (even 60%
could be more than good enough IMO).

I'm not sure how that would work, however.
