French, Dutch or Italian, maybe you could assist me to translate the install

know if you'd like me to send the text for translation.
Ah, that explains it... I didn't know 2780 was Non-CA (should have checked) and
yes I'm a Finn and I could assist translating the installer, just send me the
texts.

I can understand why you might want the revised 2780 (and indeed every other
"needs admin review" part) to have gone into this update. However there needed
to be a cut-off somewhere between me working on admin certifying the backlog and
getting the already certified parts packaged into a release. I took the
unilateral decision that users would prefer some evidence that the update
mechanism is back on track, rather than wait another month or more, and I hope
you can support this decision. As I said before, I will now work on these parts
with the aim of another update in a two or three month timeframe.
I know the lack of time to go through every part in admin review stage and I
didn't mean each and every one but rather 2780 and 32054 and the possible others
that utilize the improved primitives. But the parts in any case won't appear
before the next parts update, and I do support the decision.
