Not that trivial, surely.

God forbid me telling noble selfless volunteers 
what to do with their time :) (however, I do 
share the irony of Bruce Sterling, 
open-source-wise).

However, I'd like to see the manpower spent more 
wisely -- as there are industry-grade 
mis-functions in LO yet.

This is my personal opinion to which I, too, am 
entitled, I believe. If not as a muck-common 
user, then as a (very very minor) contributor.

Not stupid as such. But surely it could be, 
well, postponed indefinitely, or something.

Oh, but it does. It sets me back 5% in UI 
strings. I'm maintaining a certain translation 
(such as it is) for 10 years now, virtually alone.
