I think translators would adapt fine to the new format. However, a big
blocker is that gettext does not support it yet.

Computer-janitor started using the new format, but in the end strings
were reverted to the old due to that reason.

See bug 622720 for further reference. This has been reported at gettext
upstream as well, but there has been no response yet (see the gettext
task on that bug).
