I'm not sure precisely what Axel's proposal entails, in part because I 
don't know what the L10N tests are currently doing. But it sounds like a 
chunk of it is just making sure that the L10N machinery is working in 
general? As a strawman, could we just pick one well-maintained locale, 
and run everything against that?

In other words, "can we produce _a_ localized build" is something that 
sounds important to have in mozilla-central CI testing, whereas "is 
locale X working" sounds more like something that should happen with CI 
testing against the L10N repo. (At least to start with?)
