That people did lots of translations last month (for example) makes no difference to how valuable answering a support request is. And the same applies to anything else people might do in Launchpad. So it is not accurate or useful to "rebalance" karma between applications. Instead, we should assign karma points based on the likely number of minutes something takes to do.

The longer karma continues to jump around while people are not doing anything, the more it will become a source of confusion and derision (rather than an incentive for effort), and the longer this attitude will persist even after the problem is fixed.
