A few words about the status of French Bibles in Sword: Actually, when you run any application based on the Sword Project, as long as you read a Bible on your own, you're ok. 

But if besides you, someone follow your navigation into a real (printed) Bible, or if during a Church Service, you're invited to read out a given verse, because of v11n differences in the Sword modules versus the printed Bibles, you're in trouble. 

#1. eg: You are told to read out Ps. 63 :7 in the Segond version, certainly one of the most used French Bibles, so you navigate your front-end to that reference and start to read, but in fact, you are actually reading Ps. 64:7.

# 2. Open Job 39:30 in the FreMartin module, half a dozen of other verses have been added to this verse.
On the other side:
$ emptyvss FreMartin | wc -l
45
$ 

#3. There are many complaints about versification problems on the French forum of And Bible.

IMHO,the sooner these new French (actually 3: Calvin, DarbyFR, Segond) versifications schemes are added to Sword, the better.
(Note: I do not have write-access to svn)

Gains:
The remarkable FreJND module really deserves a valid v11n, it just needs a rebuilt with osis2mod -v=DarbyFR 
The FreMartin module has just to be rebuilt as well, with option -v=Calvin
We have a solid base for fixing and rebuilding other modules.

Unresolved:
There is still no valid versification scheme for FreCrampon. (includes deuterocanonical books)
