 > Even if the existing language pack doesn’t contain all translations it’s
 still better than nothing and may motivate new contributors to make the
 translation complete.

 Agree, until it becomes very low, like below 50%. And then the threshold
 for creating a language pack should be very low or jut above 50%.

 Point is, if we accept this logic as guidance: when there is a high limit
 for creating it there must be a similar, almost as high limit for removing
 it. No limit for when to remove creates strange things:

 Project A version 1.0 starts with 20 strings and soon gets 19 accepted
 translations. Some versions later it has 200 strings, but still only 19
 translated (9.5%). Language pack remains.

 Project B version 1.0 starts with 200 strings and gets 188 accepted
 translations. Some versions later the situation is the same (94%). No
 language pack.
