 My theme (Tiny Framework) explicitly states to use included language files
 (in functions.php):

 `load_theme_textdomain( 'tiny-framework', get_template_directory() .
 '/languages' );`

 I would see it fit (perhaps) to use online language pack if it is 100%
 complete, but what actually happens - online packs are selected regardless
 of the existence of the local language file.

 Users started to complain as after theme update suddenly their sites
 became only partially translated:
