 * Refer to oslo_i18n documentation for the general mechanisms that should
   be used: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/oslo.i18n/usage.html
 
-* Do NOT use the _i18n module in neutron-lib or neutron.
+* Each stadium project should NOT consume _i18n module from neutron-lib
+  or neutron.
 
 * It is recommended that you create a {package_name}/_i18n.py file
   in your repo, and use that. Your localization strings will also live
   in your repo.

-* The neutron.i18n module will be around for a release or two, with
-  shared localization strings, but migration is encouraged.
