The OO discusion has nothing to do with the upgrade path, and is just 
that; a discussion.  Integrating it into the handbook would be confusing.

You can't edit the page because it is a PHP page (created by me).  I 
read the comment but I'm unsure whether it needs to be integrated into 
the status page.  The process described in the comment is not specific 
to translations but holds true for all projects (modules, themes, 
translations).  I'd propose to link to the relevant information in the 
contributors guide.

You can send it to me or to the drupal-devel mailing list and ask 
someone to commit it.
