I guess I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't list localizations on all.html
until all platforms are available.

From what I can tell, the linux and os/x builds are there, just no windows builds.

Which is in synch with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=tb106l10n#c13,
which only lists mac and linux builds.

Call all.html handle missing platforms?

Currently, no.  And the problem should go away shortly once 1.5 ships, but if
someone wants to fix it for the interim, feel free.

We could also make the Tb all.html static instead of JS-generated until then...

This is not the first time you've stated this opinion.  It's flawed.  The policy
breaks down when there is no one available to remind the localizers the reason
why their files aren't going to be pushed and no one to search out localizers to
do extra platforms.  MMx came along when localizers didn't have anyone to do Mac
builds and now he's the most prolific poster of localizations we have. 
Ironically, now that he's so on the ball the builds he posts within hours of our
releases wouldn't be pushed until the other localizers got around to their
platforms.

Find a volunteer to work the tb106l10n bug and tell localizers why their locale
isn't posted and we can realistically consider your suggestion.  I don't know,
maybe you'll volunteer for it.  If so, great.  Otherwise, it would eventually
lead to more communication failures with them.

http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=thunderbird&os=win&lang=da-DK seems to download Thunderbird 1.0 now (as all.html states is the current latest for da-DK). Since the link works (though it is quite old), can this bug be closed?
