[Sparkle] Incomplete localizations

I wonder why so many incomplete localizations are present in the
Sparkle bundle. As far as I know, there is no value in shipping a
localization bundle that simply contains a bunch of English strings.
The system has its rules for dealing with missing localizations if
the current app's language is not available. Moreover, incomplete
localizations are subject to bitrot (not a huge concern thus far with
Sparkle, but it will become a problem if the project undergoes
significant change).
Thus I propose: all localizations that have not been fully translated
and verified by a native speaker should be removed. As new, complete
localizations are contributed, they should be added back into the
source tree and the distribution.
