Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 >  If all we need to do is delay that update (to prevent people from
 starting to get the new version) until translations are ready,

 We gave this a try and it failed. The language packs were not generated
 until we pushed the plugin version update (the tagging didn't trigger
 language pack regeneration).

 @ocean90 or @dd32 - would it possible to trigger language pack
 regeneration when a new tag is added - that way we could trigger the
 update before pushing the plugin update itself.

 Note that this issue isn't specific to our approach (although it is
 clearly exaggerated) - any plugin that has a JS filename change or adds a
 new JS file will be in the same boat - JS translations won't work for
 people who upgrade - until the new pack is built and their WordPress
 downloads it (maybe 24 hours at worst?).

 A more complex/complete solution would be when a plugin is updated with
 new JS strings/files, delay releasing on .org until the language packs
 have been regenerated. This would solve for all cases automatically. Is
 something like that even feasible?
