Fuzzy matching is not useful for me and confuses my translators. I would like to be able to pass an option to makemessages that passes the --no-fuzzy-matching option to msgmerge to turn it off. I understand it is useful for some people, so fuzzy matching should remain the default. I propose allowing makemessages to take the same option name as msgmerge and pass it through to the msgmerge invocation.
This was discussed in https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10852. I do not believe the usefulness of fuzzy matching in some situations should preclude allowing it to be turned off in others.

As you can see in the ticket you mention (see last comment), it is already possible to do so by adding a custom version of the makemessages command in your project.
