[Translators-l] Possibly disabling some AggregateGroups

[Nick Wilson (Quiddity)]

Hi Haytham,
Just to be clear, I was not proposing disabling *translation* of those
pages. I just propose removing them as aggregate groups, because they're
historical pages (and need to be discouraged for translation anyway, a
different task on another slow/massive page).
Is there anything specific about the AggregateGroups feature that you find
useful, in relation to these historical pages?

Hi Philippe,
Yup, that's the ideal solution (and tracked in
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90511 ), but in the meantime, I was just
wondering if there was any benefit to anyone, in leaving these historic
pages as AggregateGroups, or, if it would just be happy cleanup work for me
to remove them. :-)

Thanks both.
