For better or worse we are dependent on TX (Transifex). Fedora has 
adopted TX as it's translation tool, RHEL's translation tools integrate 
with TX (as well as other translation portals). And SSSD and IPA have 
made a a commitment to TX based on the direction of Fedora and RHEL.

Given that we've adopted TX I don't see the value in maintaining tools 
that support both TX and non-TX workflows. I'd rather see us delete the 
non-TX elements. If we have just one workflow it's easier to understand 
and maintain the code. If we ever decide we need to go back to a non-TX 
workflow we can always retrieve the deleted code from git.
