I think that while having a centralized translations package make no sense 
anymore, I think we should still maintain a canonical translation memory that 
serves as the authoritative translation for all packages. This provides 
consistency across packages and is the way it is done in the professional 
localization business.

So basically, option (b) with option (a) as translation memory.
