Or are you going to claim that we should not care about non-English users ? > Why is that comparable with the clutter of tens of MB and 100's of files > scattered around? Could you expand on your "scattered around" ? As maintainers, it's in our own interest to keep things uncluttered, so we strive to find some logic to things such that we can organize our files and keep files in their logical place. So please explain which files or functions you think are "scattered around" and where they should be instead ? I don't claim that the current arrangement is perfect, but it takes time and energy to think about how to make it better and to fix the various places where things aren't consistent and logical, so help is most welcome.
