 > Similarly, lots of plugins have a free (hosted on wordpress.org) version
 and a commercial version hosted elsewhere often using the same text-
 domain.

 The translation files are only downloaded/installed when the update API's
 detect the theme/plugin as being the one we host.
 If update's are offered for the not-w.org-hosted items then yes, this will
 cause problems, if the item doesn't trigger update notifications (or the
 item has included it's own update mechanism), then there's nothing to
 worry about.

 Any issues surrounding translations of not-w.org-hosted items that become
 more evident with this change were already affected by it, but most likely
 only for a select few users (Such as those using a language the author
 doesn't have a translation for).
