Right.

Yes, this is shorter and has the same meaning.

Yes.

As a "would-be manager", I would ask just one thing: who is ready to
maintain the translation if new translatable strings are added to
systemd? The "And I'm done with it" indicates that the original
submitter is likely not ready for that.

As for the translation itself, from my own viewpoint, it is not good
enough to be a final version, but good enough to be commited in a
disabled state so that others can improve it. It is not a problem that
we can't make a perfect translation in just one commit.
