Thanks!

FWIW, it is possible to stop translating Icon even with

One reason I'm keen for the default to be changed is that the proportion of
projects that want Icon to be translated is believed to be very small, so
it's better to require those projects to pass specific arguments to
xgettext, rather than to require every other project to do so.
